Are there any patches/modifications that enable U-boot to boot a kernel via FTP. ?
No, and there will be none.
FTP requires TCP/IP, which is too much overhead just for a boot loader. If you need FTP, then boot an OS which runs the download.
On the othe rhand, U-Boot offers TFTP and NFS for download, so I wonder why you think that FTP would make your life easier.
