The good news is that your flash works normally.

The bad news is that the mainline settings you are showing here are 
wrong with respect to the ORION5X_SZ_BOOTROM: A 16 MB window would be 
00ff0f11. 007f0f11 is 8MB, and 003f0f11 is 4 MB. Thus, what you think is 
a 16MB widow is actually a 8MB one, and the 8MB one is actually 4MB, 
which explains the issues you have.

I've just checked the code for computing the window size in mainline 
u-boot, and it is off by one, reducing the actual window mapping by half. :(

They weird thing is that it affect *all* windows, RAM included; we 
should have seen other issues! I'll do some checks later today and 
provide an officiel bugfix this evening.

Amicalement,
