All existing boot loaders for the JZ4740 systems that we support, being the 
Ben NanoNote (already in mainline) and the Dingoo A320 (not in mainline 
yet), seem to be using 0x80600000 as a hardcoded load address. I don't know 
the origin of this convention.

I'll prepare a new patch with the spaces around ":=" added.

Bye,
