So, I've poked aruond a bit more on some of my TI platforms at least.
Can you look at the following things on yours?
1) Do you still see the problem on top of tree? Masahiro fixed at least
one problem just before v2016.01
2) Instead of fdt_high / initrd_high can you look at bootm_low /
bootm_size ? include/configs/ti_armv7_common.h has these along with a
big comment about what the overall constraints are.

Thanks!
