Just a small information: I can boot a OF_CONTROL on a RevC Zynq 
Board but not Rev. D. So i can at least confirm that a board with RevC boots a 
mainline u-boot with OF_CONTROL disabled. I have no idea why the bootgen for 
the Rev. D board fails even if i have replaced the bitstream for the non eng. 
sample FPGA. But at least that also works when loaded with an HW-Debugger.
