U-Boot 1.1.2 nows absolutely nothing about device trees yet. I
recommend to update to current code - both for U-Boot and Linux
(Linux 2.6.24.2 is really old, too).
You probably can run a recent kernel on that old U-Boot version using
a cuImage, but it would be better to use current code.
Best regards,
