BeagleBone Black fails to boot with u-boot 2014.07, linux-yocto 3.14.5

[Maciej Borzecki <maciej.borzecki@open-rnd.pl>]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble booting BBB with current meta-ti 
(f7b1140774e6c8c8aecde41388d40d9d407df6ff). The problem looks similar to this 
bug report:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6165

Console output is as follows:
Booting from mmc ...
## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 80007fc0 ...
   Image Name:   Linux-3.14.5-yocto-standard
   Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
   Data Size:    5098048 Bytes = 4.9 MiB
   Load Address: 80008000
   Entry Point:  80008000

The original issue with kernel overlapping fdt was fixed with this patch to 
OE-core: 
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=2cae5f78ad2982c7ca0c22c085b71a1d2184a1b0 
However, current meta-ti contains u-boot in version 2014.07, overriding 
2013.07 from poky master. I'm assuming that the patch eventually made it into 
denx tree.

Another problem is that uImage contains the following info:
Image Name:   Linux-3.14.5-yocto-standard
Created:      Mon Aug 11 16:59:42 2014
Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
Data Size:    5098048 Bytes = 4978.56 kB = 4.86 MB
Load Address: 80008000
Entry Point:  80008000

I'm not sure what is the order in which the addresses are applied. Is it 
kernel -> default env -> uEnv.txt?

Adding uEnv.txt with these contents fixes the problem:
loadaddr=0x82000000
kernel_addr_r=0x82000000
fdtaddr=0x88000000
fdt_addr_r=0x88000000
rdaddr=0x88080000
ramdisk_addr_r=0x88080000
bootm_size=0x10000000

Please advise how to fix it without falling back to uEnv.
