The current U-Boot code is broken, and the board maintainer (Richard Woodruff, on Cc:) did not care so far.
Well, that is partially true. I have not tried to resync for many months now. Previous patches lagged commit so long that that it was not necessary workable by the time they were applied. The code has been pretty dynamic as perhaps a dozen versions of the board appeared in a very short time.
Use git, and provide access to your repo.
Some of those issues dealt with the cfi_flash code and what was acceptable. That code has changed much since then and is perhaps worth trying against again. The NAND tree has also changed a lot and will take more effort to re-validate.
You will run into this again and again the longer you keep disconnected from the development in the main repo. Use git 9or one of the porcelains, for example stgit), and update often.
