It's easy ;)

The applied patch has a bug that the chip detection is done too late. 
It has to be done some lines earlier:

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-October/062150.html

(which is against the patch already applied).

So there are two options to deal with this:

a) Apply

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-October/062150.html

on top of the patch already in u-boot-ti (and u-boot-arm)

or

b) Revert

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot/u-boot-ti.git;a=commitdiff;h=4eb3af078267e103fb957cb831497cf7670fb3f4

and apply

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-October/062153.html

instead which has the "make the chip detection earlier" fix from (a) 
above incorporated.

Best regards
