Hi simon ,

We modified to use the CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR as the source RAM address
to store the  compressed U-Boot
 binary which will be defined in a machine defconfig file in place of
defining a new RAM address and with the help of this change,
able to load and boot the compressed U-boot.

-spl_load_fit_image function , will uncompress the U-BOOT binary which
is placed in the CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR to
default CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE location and able to load and boot the
compressed U-boot.

These two patches  will be removed in the next v2 patchset which are
related  to adding new RAM address to store compressed U-boot.
