If filename is passed instead of address to ext2load or fatload, u-boot silently accepts that, and uses 0 for load address and default filename from environment. That is confusing, display help instead.

What happens in case of filenames that look like numbers, say "0"? It may be silly to use such, but it should not be impossible to do so.
It should be ok.
This catches error when someone passes non-number as a load address. As long as you pass load address, nothing changes.
IOW
fatload mmc 0:1 0 filename # always worked/keeps working fatload mmc 0:1 filename # before my patch, this would try to parse filename as number, fail, # and use default load address adn default filename. Not what user # wanted. fatload mmc 0:1 0 0 # Load filename "0" at address 0. Worked before, will work now.
Hope this helps, Pavel
