Tom, thank you for testing.

Easy way to test this patch.
Jump any bad address using go command on U-boot prompt.

Good restult:

 > go 0x0badc0de
## Starting application at 0x0BADC0DE ...
undefined instruction
pc : [<0badc0e0>]          lr : [<5ff91354>]

r10: 00000002  r9 : 5feefbdd     r8 : 5feeff68

resetting ...


Bad result:
 > go 0x0badc0de

(.. hang up without any crash dump.)
