Thanks a lot for your help!
It turned out I copied the old image, not the new one. My apologies!

Now indeed, the bug is gone and I can boot mainline Linux on mainline 
U-Boot and mainline OpenSBI.
I will publish Yocto recipes (meta-riscv layer) in the next days to 
allow everyone to build such images.

This will help with supporting other K1-based platforms too.
Thanks a lot for your contributions,  guidance and patience.
Cheers
Michael.
