Can you not simply set this time high enough that the U-Boot script 
executes?

Out of sheer curiosity (I've done some lab teaching in assembly language 
and device control in a previous life), what are those IOs that have 
such a bounded set-up time relative to power-on in a university project? 
If you are willing to answer but find that's really not related to 
U-Boot, we can discuss this in private.
