This little series corrects a problem I noticed with arm64 images,
where the kernel is not recognised:
U-Boot> tftp image.fit

Bad Linux ARM64 Image magic!

The problem is that the arm64 magic is checked before the image is
decompressed.
Another issue is that the load address is read from the 'load' property
even with a kernel_noload image. This means that the kernel is loaded
to address 0, which may not be valid on the board. We can use the
kernel_addr_r environment variable instead.
A patch is included to show the kernel load-address, so it is easy to
see what is going on.
Changes in v2:
- Add a 'success' case to the cover letter
Simon Glass (4):
bootm: Allow ignoring the load address with kernel_noload
bootm: Move arm64-image processing later
image: Show the load address when decompressing
image: Correct load_bug typo
