Because 0x450000 could be mapped to flash and 0x220000 could be in RAM.
At least this results in wrong or misleading mem address and entry point
entries in the FIS directory. Sometimes this makes it harder to
differentiate between images built for flash and images built for RAM.

Can you give an example for intended overriding of s-record defaults?

Thanks anyway!
