The bootm command can handle the compressed image, but current
code fails to boot from it.

    ## Loading kernel (any) from FIT Image at a8000000 ...
    <snip>
         Compression:  gzip compressed
         Data Start:   0xa80000d4
         Data Size:    10114520 Bytes = 9.6 MiB
         Architecture: AArch64
         OS:           EFI Firmware
         Load Address: 0x90000000

    <snip>
       Uncompressing Kernel Image to 90000000
    ## Transferring control to EFI (at address a80000d4) ...
    Booting <NULL>
    Not a PE-COFF file
    Loading image failed

To take care of the compressed image, the load address needs
to be passed instead of the original compressed image address.
