[U-Boot] bav335x support broken

Hi Anish,

Yes, actually my board support is based on an older sitara patch and it works when applied to v2015.01. But I was mistaken about the problem.
I went back to my original patch applied to v2015.01 and it gives the same error but then moves on to SPL and boots ok.

So I guess it's safe to say that the "fat" error is not the problem. The problem when I compile a74ef40a471d9d4bffb36a8c89744cf6fd631e6f is that it restarts over and over.

Do you have any suggestions how how to find the cause of the constant restart? I actually don't have a debugger for this hardware :-(

Cheers,
Gilles
