It is not true. Old mainline U-Boot has never had that MMU stuff. U-Boot
uses flat address space and MMU is setup only for enabling cache.
If you check in mainline tree for the 2009.8 tag, you will find no MMU
stuff at all. Your "old" U-Boot was delivered by the manufacturer and
not supported by the community.

Best regards,
