Hi Vipul and Bhavna,

Thanks for testing out the patches. I forgot about the loadaddress,
which indeed does not get set for multiplatform kernels, because
the kernel does not know the correct address when it depends on
the platform you are booting on.

The recommended solution for this is to boot a normal 'vmlinux'
or 'zImage' file rather than a uImage file. If you u-boot version
is too old for that and you cannot update, you can manually
call 'mkimage' to create a uImage file with the correct load
address.
