You can do it, but for starting in ram some changes are needed;
for example, you cannot change IMMR or program SRAM controller when you
start from RAM.

For testing the personal modification of u-boot in my board, I have a
standard starting u-boot in flash (that I never modify when running fine),
and every change is made in the same version but compiled for starting in
ram; so I can test every change very quickly.
For adding command or some functionalities this is good, but you cannot test
all the HW init part.
