is the const cast required here?

this should be NULL if at all

no space between the function.

I'm not sure but this kinda breaks the case where someone was using a
plain file without the uImage header. I don't know if someone used this
at all but it seems we have code for this. The way you load the uImage
is very generic and I would expect to load it the same way on ARM or SH.

One thing that is different compared to kernel: If the compression is
set to GZ on a ramdisk image you should not uncompress it. I think that
uImage_load() decompresses the .gz part for you but I am not sure.
