You can pass the name of a configuration and overlays to apply to the
bootm command. See doc/uImage.FIT/overlay-fdt-boot.txt

Here are examples of usage:

* configs/am65x_hs_evm_a53_defconfig
* include/configs/ti_armv7_common.h

U-Boot relocates itself to the top of memory. The available memory is
shown by command bdinfo.

Run 'printenv' to see which other memory addresses are defined.
