In any case since the u-boot structure has changed this cannot be applied. If anybody is interested please send a new patch.

There are actually more problems (already known to TI) related to the use of ASA bit on OMAP3 Cortex-A8: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1048445

I don't know any of the details related to these reliability issues mentioned by Richard. But I still think that u-boot should not be setting ASA bit, there are just too many reasons not to do that.
