Introducing routines for parsing new uImage format bootm arguments: [<addr>]#<conf> - configuration specification [<addr>]:<subimg> - subimage specification
New format images can contain multiple subimages of the same type. For example a single new format image file can contain three kernels, two ramdisks and a couple of FDT blobs. Subimage and configuration specifications are extensions to bootm (and other image-related commands) arguments' syntax that allow to specify which particular subimage should be operated on.
Subimage specification is used to denote a particular subimage. Configurations are a bit more complex -- they are used to define a particualr booting setup, for example a (kernel, fdt blob) pair, or a (kernel, ramdisk, fdt blob) tuple, etc.

Mind adding a example of what <conf> and <subimg> would/could be set to. (Its not clear to me if these are indexes [0..n] or labels)
