 Hi Lothar,

 Sorry to bother you with more questions :-)

 Side remark: we don't want to include the patch changelog in our git history,
so in the future put it below a --- line:

 The ; at the end of the line here is a bit weird but OK.

 It would have been nice to mention in the commit message why this change is
made. I guess it is to support a new revision of the board. Which really should
have been done in a separate commit, unless this revision is only supported by
the newer U-Boot/kernel (though I don't really mind squashing the commits).

 Are you sure U-Boot doesn't need dtc anymore? Did you test with a clean build?
