OK, I found the problem and fixed in the for-1.3.2 branch:

    ppc4xx: Fix problem in 44x cache POST routine

    As repoted by Larry Johnson, running "diag run cache" caused a crash
    in U-Boot. This problem was introduced by a patch that removed the
    TLB entry for the cache test after the test has completed. Since this
    TLB was only setup once, a 2nd attempt to run this cache test
    failed with a crash. Now this TLB entry is created every time the
    routine is called.
