Sounds good, but this is only correct for RV64. For RV32 it should be
0x1e00000. I wonder if we should do something like

   ```
   ${CROSS_COMPILE}objdump -h $KERNEL_ELF | sort -k 5,5 | awk -n '/^ +[0-9]+ /\
   {addr="0x"$3; size="0x"$5; printf "0x""%x\n",addr+size}' \
-  | (( `tail -1` > 0x2200000 )) && echo fdt overlaps kernel,\
-  increase FW_JUMP_FDT_ADDR
+  | (( `tail -1` > (FW_JUMP_FDT_ADDR - FW_JUMP_ADDR) )) && echo fdt overlaps \
+  kernel, increase FW_JUMP_FDT_ADDR

   ${LLVM}objdump -h --show-lma $KERNEL_ELF | sort -k 5,5 | \
   awk -n '/^ +[0-9]+ / {addr="0x"$3; size="0x"$5; printf "0x""%x\n",addr+size}'\
-  | (( `tail -1` > 0x2200000 )) && echo fdt overlaps kernel,\
-  increase FW_JUMP_FDT_ADDR
+  | (( `tail -1` > (FW_JUMP_FDT_ADDR - FW_JUMP_ADDR) )) && echo fdt overlaps \
+  kernel, increase FW_JUMP_FDT_ADDR
   ```

instead?

Thanks,
