image_get_ram_disk() and image_get_kernel() perform operations in a consistent order. Modify image_get_fdt() to do things the same way. This allows a later change to insert some image header manipulations into these three functions in a consistent fashion.
v2: New patch

Hi Stephen,
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.
Cheers
Just a quick Q. What is the ultimate intent here? Should we be aiming to have U-Boot copy and decompress the data into RAM ready for Linux? In theory this should be slightly faster since U-Boot already has the data in its cache. I think zImage now supports having an FDT inside but what is the advantage of zImage over a uImage with compressed portions?
