Workaround for hanging u-boot 'Load Address: fffffff2'

If your fresh uImage hangs in a similar way:

## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 81000000 ...
   Image Name:   Linux-3.8.0-rc2-tst04+
   Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
   Data Size:    1161118 Bytes = 1.1 MiB
   Load Address: fffffff2
   Entry Point:  fffffff2
   Verifying Checksum ... OK
   Loading Kernel Image ...


Then a temporary fix could be added in arch/arm/boot/Makefile

git diff  arch/arm/boot/Makefile


Change 'mach-omap2' in the patch above to required machine directory

This is needed because 'MACHINE' in arch/arm/Makefile is
set empty when CONFIG_ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM=y, and consequently parameters
-a and -e are empty in arch/arm/boot/.uImage.cmd

Regards,
