[U-Boot] [PATCH] Fix device detection for API consumers

Hi list,
I use U-Boot for starting FreeBSD/arm on Globalscale DreamPlug.
On this platform FreeBSD uses "ubldr" second-stage bootloader, which is
an U-Boot API consumer and uses U-Boot API to access block devices, network, etc.
Dreamplug has several block devices accessible: internal SD card, SD card reader,
and any number of USB-attached mass storage devices.

But when I boot ubldr, I can see only one block device.

I have traced down the problem and it seems to be in U-Boot API. When doing
block device enumeration, the "more" flag is not set properly on first access.

This patch fixes the problem for me. After applying the patch, FreeBSD ubldr
is able to see and access all block devices that U-Boot self knows.
