For the record, this proposed u-boot change has been filed as
<http://bugs.debian.org/658904>.

The inability to work with versions of u-boot without that change
(workaround?) in the default configuration still would seem to be a
regression in the kernel, so pointers toward solving it would be very
welcome.

Thanks very much for tracking this down,
