Before you waste your time: make a pleasure to yourself and update to
the last U-Boot code, better from GIT repository (git.denx.de). Your

You have not indicated which architecture you have (ARM,PPC, ...), and
from which board you are basing your porting.

Start using last code and check again if you have relevant issues.
