We *do* need a comment in the release notes for this revision of u- boot that the map for 8641 has changed so it doesn't catch anyone by surprise.
How about a runtime check in the board fdt code to print a warning if it finds an old device tree? Unfortunately, using new dts with old u-boot isn't as easy to detect.
Where exactly were you thinking this would go? I'm not sure what to detect - I could pretty easily do a rudimentary check, like checking if the CCSR location in the .dts is the same as the one u-boot has, but there's always the possiblity that someone has hacked their u-boot to put the CCSR in the same spot.
