Dear Marek Vasut,

this patchset is good and all, but can we not also introduce cmd_zload to load zImages? Wolfgang, today's ARM hardware will really benefit from that, uImage holds us back a lot these days. Other option is to extend cmd_bootm() to load zImages.
uImage holds us back? And hardware will benefit from that?
Well you put out quite a good reason in the other mail for uImage. Now the problem basically is the negotiation between linux and uboot as of who has to wrap the image into what envelope. I don't see this happening actually, which sucks.
I can't parse that. Could you please elucidate?
What exactly _is_ the problem of uImage?
The exact problem here is it loads the kernel to fixed address.
Or have you ever considered using a FIT image?
That looks good, yes.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
