I get some problems:
- loadbootscript is not correctly set. In fact:

 env default -f -a
## Resetting to default environment
MX53LOCO U-Boot > pri mmcargs
mmcargs=setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,${baudrate} root=${mmcroot}
loadbootscript=fatload mmc ${mmcdev}:${mmcpart} ${loadaddr} ${script};

There is still a '0' missing for mmcargs, and loadbootscript is not set.

Then there is a problem with netboot. It is set correctly, but "pri
netboot" crashes:

pri netboot
netboot=echo Booting from net ...; run netargs; if test ${ip_dyn} = yes;
then setenv get_cmd dhcp; else setenv get_cmd tftp; fi; ${get_cmd}
${uimage}; if test ${boot_fdt} = yes; then if ${get_cmd} ${fdt_addr}
${fdt_file}; then bootm ${loadaddr} - ${fdt_addr}; else if test
${boot_fdt} = try; then bootm; else echo ERROR: Cannot load the DT;
exit; fi; fi; else bootm; fi;
prefetch abort

Resetting CPU ...

Then I do not understand the boot_fdt when set to try. I have imagined
that it tries to start a DT kernel, and if no fdt find is found, it
tries with a legacy kernel without fdt. But it does not try to load the
FDT file, because this is done only when boot_fdt = yes. When boot_fdt =
try, it starts always a legacy kernel.

Best regards,
Stefano Babic
