Yes, there have been some changes.  U-boot is probably looking for 
network aliases to fill in the MAC addresses.

At the very least, use a newer DTS file; better yet, use the latest 
upstream u-boot and kernel rather than anything from the BSP (unless 
there's something you really need that isn't upstream).
