[PATCH 2/2] bootm: add u-boot support

[Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD]

Simply do the same as barebox and hope for the best as u-boot does not handle
runtime address detection for boot quite often. It does only execpt you to
choose as compiling time.

Wolfgang always emphasizes that it's not possible to start U-Boot second
stage. Most U-Boot images indeed do not support this without hacking the
lowlevel code. We can't support this feature which happens to work on
only some U-Boot images.

yeah they still does not understand that it's a hugely usefull feature

that's why the comment "hope for the best"

but it's still possible on at91 and others as example

so how can we run those bianry from barebox easely

0xdeadbeef is such a widely used placeholder that we should use it for
filetype detection. Also, I don't think that U-Boot ever specified
0xdeadbeef at this offset as a fixed value. It could be changed without
notice.

Yes, and there's no indication that it will change. Anyway, this was
never meant as an API and everybody uses 0xdeadbeef as placeholder.

'go'? You could also embed it in an uImage if you really want to use the
bootm command.
