I don't think so - either these don't have (and use) load and entry
point addesses (like in the ramdisk case), or they are not easily
relocatable in the same way as the Linux kernel.

No, at the moment only the Linux kernel images need to support tis
property.

OK, eventually this might be useful for multi-part images, too, but
these have been deprecated for a long time, and here the user should
just use a FIT image instead,

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
