From: Magnus Damm <damm+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Include hints in the DTS for KZM9G on how to build a kernel that may be booted using the old on-board boot loader. Special handling includes: - The DTB needs to be appended to the zImage before generating the uImage - LOADADDR needs to be set to 0x48008000 to be able to generate an uImage - CONFIG_ATAGS=n is needed for the board to boot Perhaps there is a better place where this kind of information should be placed? Many years ago the LOADADDR information used to be part of the kernel makefiles (and make uImage just worked out of the box) but when going DTS and zImage this seems to have been dropped. So these days special care is needed to build a uImage file which is required by the boot loader.
