find . -type f -print -exec grep CFG_LOAD_ADDR {} /dev/null \;

and a bit of work with a text editor will show you that CFG_LOAD_ADDR
is used as a default argument to commands that load something into
memory, like loadb, tftp, etc.  This is usually somewhere in DRAM.

TEXT_BASE is the starting address that u-boot is built for usually in
FLASH.  Later u-boot moves itself up to the top of available memory.
