Dear Heiko Schocher,

We should point out that this is only intended (and allowed) for
boards where U-Boot gets loaded into RAM by some other means (like a
first stage boot loader, say when booting from NAND or SDCard).

When booting from NOR or some other persistent memory TEXT_BASE will
point to that address range, and then it is obviously impossible to
use the same value as relocation address.

Best regards,
