In my local script I use it to do something like: NAME="AmitsKernelImage-`date +%F-%H%M`" mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0x80008000 -e 0x80008000 -n $NAME -d linux.bin.gz myImage This allows us to tell quickly when the kernel was prepared for consumption by u-boot and who created it (Linaro official vs. local). This is just a quick visual check (among others) to make sure we're booting with the intended kernel.
