Generally, they can share the same value, but they have different
meaning. For TX25, the link address is set in board/karo/tx25/config.mk.
However, this is the old way to do things. Currently,
CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE (link address) must be set into the board
configuration file (tx25.h).

CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST tells the first loader (nand_spl) where
u-boot code must be copied. If u-boot has a small header that must be
also copied, the two address are different. On tx25, they have the same
value.

Best regards,
