Ok, this is the method I can think of:

Let's say I want build a kernel for mx53:

make
(This will produce a zImage)

make uImage LOADADDR=0x70008000

The LOADADDR can be retrieved from:
arch/arm/mach-imx/Makefile.boot
or
arch/arm/mach-mx5/Makefile.boot

Is this the recommended approach or is there any other suggestion to
make this easier?
