Sure, understood. So if we always build uImage as "make uImage
LOADADDR=0xxxxx" then it will always work. No matter if you are in a
single machine defconfig or on a multiple machine defconfig.

What I think it is strange is the need to pass the UBOOT_ENTRYPOINT to
poky and then we need to force "LOADADDR=${UBOOT_ENTRYPOINT}" again in
our layer. Why can't poke just always pass
LOADADDR=${UBOOT_ENTRYPOINT} itself? If UBOOT_ENTRYPOINT is not passed
then it does the usual "make uImage" method.

We could call it OUR_UBOOT_ENTRYPOINT instead and use this
OUR_UBOOT_ENTRYPOINT in our layer, no?

Or maybe in the next release we could just switch to zImage and no
need to worry about such things ;-)
