Sorry, looks like I mixed TX1 and TX2. I see you are using TX1. However,
I believe you are still booting the wrong u-boot file.

If you look at the p2371-2180-devkit.conf you will see that it has ...

 DFLT_KERNEL_IMAGE="bootloader/${target_board}/p2371-2180/u-boot.bin

For using the upstream u-boot, we need to use the u-boot-dtb.bin and not
the u-boot.bin. So you can either ...

1. Update the p2371-2180-devkit.conf to use the u-boot-dtb.bin that you
copied.
2. Move the u-boot-dtb.bin from your rpm to
bootloader/t210ref/p2371-2180/u-boot.bin.

Cheers
Jon
