From my understanding this worked at some point on the CPCI750 as well. 
Perhaps you could give the TOT U-Boot version a try on your board used above. 
My guess is that this will fail as well.

I tried to locate a problem that was introduced at some time but couldn't 
locate it (no, I didn't use git bisect). But looking at the current code this 
just can't work as is for the 2nd drive. And I still think my fix is ok.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Stefan
