This is not quite accurate, since you introduce two new uImage
targets, this should be:

+       echo '  uImage               - U-Boot image'
+       echo '  uImage.gz               - U-Boot image (gzip)'

Is not VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS suitable here?

This logic already exists in arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile, so we
might want to move this to arch/mips/Makefile? This could be a
preliminary or subsequent patch, your call.
