[U-Boot] [Q] SPL uses uImage load address as entry point

[Phil Edworthy]

Hi,

I'm doing some work with U-Boot SPL, and noticed the following code in the spl_parse_image_header function (common/spl/spl.c):
	if (image_get_magic(header) == IH_MAGIC) {
		if (spl_image.flags & SPL_COPY_PAYLOAD_ONLY) {
			...
		} else {
			spl_image.entry_point = image_get_load(header);
			/* Load including the header */
			spl_image.load_addr = spl_image.entry_point -
				header_size;
			...
		}

Could anyone tell me why SPL uses the load address from the header as the entry point address, and then calculates the entry point?

Thanks
Phil
