Cutting a long thread short: U-Boot can only handle either BROM-style
booting or SPL-style booting. Since v2017.03 booting defaults to BROM,
which requires u-boot.bin immediately after the rksd, as opposed to
u-boot.img at sector 256 as before.

That works for -rc2, but still leaves v2017.03 without serial output.
