Instead of hacking ancient code in incompatible ways I recommend you
to update and use curent code. Ther the "mtest" command takes an
optional 4th argument which defines the number of iterations.

Also please note that "mtest" is not really optimal for a memory test
unless you #define CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST.

And finally it might be worth to look into the memory test facilities
that are part of the POST implementation instead.

Well, this is obviouly completely unrelated to the changes you
describe, so you must have changed other things, too, if the code was
working before,

Ancient, completely unsupported code. Please update.
