You need a patch to u-boot to fix initrd/fdt loading.  As a
workaround, you can try:
setenv initrd_high 0x1000000

This will restrict the ramdisk to the first 16M, and thus the flat
device tree, too.  You can play around with that number.  You want to
make sure that the start of the initrd image is within the first 16M
(address < 16M) of memory. If you can't do that, you'll need to grab
the patch to fix that bug.

It can be found here:
http://opensource.freescale.com/pub/scm/u-boot-85xx.git at the top of
the tree.  You can use gitweb to grab it, too:
