Putting a load address into the FIT image means that the image can run
only on boards which have SDRAM there. We can build zImages which run on
a variety of different boards and SoCs, so to me it doesn't make sense
to limit this image to a single board only forced the container format.
For this reason barebox deliberately ignores the absence of these
properties.
That said, you shouldn't set these properties when not explicitly wanted
by the user, so the default should be that the properties are not there.
