York is mistaken.  The CRC was always at location 0xFC, but for some 
reason, when I wrote the code, I put it at 0xCC.  Now I'm fixing it, and 
providing some backwards compatibility to avoid causing problems for 
people who upgrade U-Boot on existing boards.  I don't see how this is 
controversial in any way.
