This bug appears in b6396403 which makes u-boot unable to pass
arguments via bootm to a standalone application without this patch.

Steps to reproduce.

Compile a u-boot. Use mkimage to package the standalone hello_world.bin
file.

e.g. For the MIPS Boston platform

mkimage -n "hello" -A mips -O u-boot -C none -T standalone \
     -a 0xffffffff80200000 -d hello_world.bin \
     -ep 0xffffffff80200000 hello_out

Then tftp hello_out and run it using

boston # dhcp 192.168.154.45:hello_out
...
boston # bootm $loadaddr 123 321

Without the patch the following output is observed.

Example expects ABI version 8
Actual U-Boot ABI version 8
Hello World
argc = 0
argv[0] = "0xffffffff88000000"

With the patch, you see the following.

boston # bootm $loadaddr 123 321
   Image Name:   hello
   Image Type:   MIPS U-Boot Standalone Program (uncompressed)
   Data Size:    1240 Bytes = 1.2 KiB
   Load Address: 80200000
   Entry Point:  80200000
   Verifying Checksum ... OK
   Loading Standalone Program ... OK
Example expects ABI version 8
Actual U-Boot ABI version 8
Hello World
argc = 0
argv[0] = "0xffffffff88000000"
Hit any key to exit ...

The go command at the entry point seems to work.

boston # go 0xffffffff80200000 123 321
Example expects ABI version 8
Actual U-Boot ABI version 8
Hello World
argc = 3
argv[0] = "0xffffffff80200000"
argv[1] = "123"
argv[2] = "321"
argv[3] = "<NULL>"
Hit any key to exit ...

argv[1] = 123
argv[2] = 321

Copy paste fluke in the git log. Sorry.
The above appears in reality

Can you re-send with a corrected commit log?  Thanks.
