Well, I would like to know if the newer versions in Debian are or aren't
working, if you'd be willing to try. They do still build in 2016.01~rc3,
so newer versions probably have converted over to generic-board (or just
haven't been removed yet).

There are a couple bugs reported against u-boot which may be relevent:

  https://bugs.debian.org/781874
  https://bugs.debian.org/782293

I don't recall if the requested patches got into mainline u-boot, and I
haven't included them as patches in the debian u-boot packages.
