The load address of a standalone application cannot be known at
compile time of the U-Boot image.
Please don't assume that the code / Makefiles etc. of that application
is even part of the U-Boot source tree or build system.
Please don't assume that everybody uses the same load addresses.
Please don't asume that all standalone applications running on a
system use the same load addresses - there are cases, where several SA
apps are simultaneously loaded, etc.
Don't try to be clever when this cannot work.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
