This is really weird and I am pretty sure that this is not supposed to
happen with the code that we have in mainline.  I think you have two
options here:

1. Get mainline U-Boot running on your board that works with the uImage
   that os created from mainline Linux

2. Debug your U-Boot version why it does not handle the uImage like it
   is supposed to.

Option 1 will be the more rewarding alternative of course.

Best wishes
