I reverted the compressed uimg change, so if you update and build a new
kernel hopefully it should work with the default values again.

Fair. I hacked my local copy of the u-boot binary and updated two addresses (kernel_addr_r and another I don’t recall name of) w a hex editor and got reliable booting (0x4008000 to 0x4208000, iirc).

For my curiosity: what are keys to picking a good address? Aligned at start of $PAGESIZE or such? Are there best candidates? Ramifications for various different choices?
