[U-Boot] [BUG] kwimage v0 broken

Hi,
With the latest u-boot mainline from denx git, the kirkwood image old version/format are broken; Sheevaplug u-boot.kwb is no more flahsable and brick the plug.
Using an older mkimage version still work with the same u-boot binary.
u-boot (in elf loading mode) still work well also.
If I can help by some tests, please feel free to ask.
PS: I'm not on the list, thans to cc me.

Hmmm. I have no access to a mainlined Kirkwood board right now. So I can't really test right now. I added Luka to Cc, as he did some testing on this patch series a few weeks ago. And IIRC, he didn't experience any such problems with the kwimage tool.
Luka, could you perhaps take another look at it? And give the current mainline version a try on your board?
Thanks, Stefan

I can give some tests if you want, with sheevaplugs and guruplugs.
I also have a Mirabox for testing purpose.
Ask if you need more feedbacks with some notes.
Feel free to ask.

Hmm... We must fix this asap. Can someone post the patch?

Hi all,
I have compared the latest kwimage and the oldest one.
I have found some minor differences that make my sheevaplugs flashing and u-booting again.

A quick patch was sent to the list.
