I forgot about this comment sorry. I had problems with the image
overwriting itself. It is a bzImage inside a FIT so doesn't use the
proper FIT decompression.

Anyway I'd like to clarify what is meant by kernel_addr_r. Is that
where the FIT is loaded or where the kernel will decompress to, or
something else?

Regards,
Simon
