There are actually more problems (already known to TI) related to the use
of ASA bit on OMAP3 Cortex-A8:

I don't know any of the details related to these reliability issues mentioned
by Richard. But I still think that u-boot should not be setting ASA bit, there
are just too many reasons not to do that.
