Then load_addr is set to "entry_point - header_size", but this is wrong too since load_addr is not an entry point. So use image_get_ep() for entry_point assignment and image_get_load() for load_addr assignment.

...I erroneously sent this patch again in this series but it's been already committed and then reverted at the moment and will be committed on next version since it breaks a lot of boards that assume that "load address" and "entry point" are the same. Here is the discussion:
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2019-December/393010.html
What is the format of i.MXRT?
i.MXRT is a cortex-M7, so it needs "load address" to be different from "entry point", since entry point is offset of 0x3FD from "load address".
This is done in board defconfig with: CONFIG_SYS_UBOOT_START different from: CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE
I'm also concerned about breaking already supported in-tree boards. Why i.MXRT needs to make this change? And why other boards don't need that fix? (do they all have load address equal to entry point ?)
Indeed, all these boards assume load address and entry point to be the same. Best regards -- Giulio Benetti Benetti Engineering sas
