I was not controlling UBLDR_LOADADDR in
my armv7 builds.

My original build was via crochet and it
established the ubldr ubldr.bin pair that
was still in use --with the UBLDR_LOADADDR
correctly filled in when they were
generated.

The two types of boards that I have access
to need different UBLDR_LOADADDR values.
Neither was being set. Both were dependent
on having it being correct the first time
and not updating ubldr* since then.
