Hey,

U-Boot follows the in-kernel mach-types file. We had a few issues with boards 
not building due to the removal of old mach types.

So basically, you should fix your patches for the Linkstation to support DT, 
resubmit them, get them mainline, then enable DT in U-Boot and boot that way. I 
see now problem.

And if your platform is a broken crap, please define CONFIG_MACH_TYPE 
MACH_TYPE_SOMETHING and MACH_TYPE_SOMETHING in your include/configs/something.h 
config file.
