U-Boot doesn't support metadata_csum feature. Writing to filesystem with metadata_csum feature makes the filesystem corrupted and unbootable by Linux:

[ 2.527495] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): ext4_check_descriptors: Checksum for group 0 failed (52188!=0) [ 2.537421] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): ext4_check_descriptors: Checksum for group 1 failed (5262!=0) ... [ 2.653308] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): ext4_check_descriptors: Checksum for group 14 failed (42611!=0) [ 2.662179] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): ext4_check_descriptors: Checksum for group 15 failed (21527!=0) [ 2.687920] JBD2: journal checksum error [ 2.691982] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): error loading journal [ 2.698292] VFS: Cannot open root device "mmcblk0p2" or unknown-block(179,2): error -74

Don't write to filesystem with meatadata_csum feature to not corrupt the filesystem.
