I see. I've looked through my old commit histories but haven't found
anything interesting. All I can say that it wasn't FAT cause I've
changed BSS location before I've even started playing with MMC SPL.

Probably I just didn't want to change TEXT_BASE... Ah, now I recall.
I tried to make SPL working without breaking the board, so I loaded SPL
to SRAM with BDI and tried to make it work with the u-boot.bin I had in
NAND. That's why I had to preserve TEXT_BASE and move BSS instead.
So that seems unrelated to the problem you observe on devkit8000...

Regards, Ilya.
