I think, that only one boot path should be chosen at each boot.
Even if boot script will fail, it means, that the boot path was found, 
and loading uImage directly is not preferred - since maybe something can 
be missing then.

If user wants boot from script, then he puts it to disk, if not then he 
can choose one of supported image type, but not all at a time.

I suggested that version to you in last review. I would like to apply 
locally the patch and test, if can compile with no error/warning, make 
test of run the board and test of booting the kernel. And after positive 
test sequence, your patch will be acked, and then can be taken by Minkyu.

So yes, please send the correct version.
