Seems if I use the description "description = "U-Boot + FDT --------- THIS
PADDING IS NEEDED SO THE IMAGE STARTS AT THE RIGHT OFFSET"; "

I get a blank display that shows no signs of loading uboot BUT if I use:

description = "Chrome OS kernel image with one or more FDT blobs";

Nyan tries to load something because the display flashes like a normal
bootup but immediately reboots into chromeos usb/sdcard recovery.

So the hack in the the collabora uboot kernel-big.its doesnt seem to work
anymore unless the padding is messing with the load address.

I am using mainline uboot with CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0x81000100 should this
be changed?

Also i am trying to figure out how padding is calculated in a fit image and
this is confusing.  Is the padding the actual description length?
