Until recently barebox completely ignored this option, but now barebox
will honor them when they exist. This means that once you add the kernel
load address the FIT image will only be usable on SoCs/boards which have
free memory on that address.

On U-Boot this option is mandatory.

Yes, barebox ignores it.
