Is said in [1] I found some boot issues on Beagle Play with boot image
v4.

If a new series need to be send, please also adapt the commit message a
bit as it fails checkpatch:

$ ~/work/amlogic/u-boot/ neil/android-fixes ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict --u-boot --git HEAD^..HEAD

NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
      mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace.

Commit 19a75a41096f ("image: android: handle ramdisk default address") has style problems, please review.

NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
      them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
