Hi Tom,

I also encountered this problem
( http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-January/200123.html )
and found it was indeed when 64-bit maths operations were included.
To be exact, it was this division of a long long in
drivers/video/videomodes.c:

     mode->pixclock = 1000000000000LL / EDID_DETAILED_TIMING_PIXEL_CLOCK(*t);

which was part of this commit in Hans' sunxi video series:

0cd5efe videomodes: Add video_edid_dtd_to_ctfb_res_modes helper function

and which was linked into the u-boot binary in a later commit:

e7872f3 sunxi: video: Use video-mode/-timing from videomodes
diff --git a/drivers/video/Makefile b/drivers/video/Makefile
[...]
-obj-$(CONFIG_VIDEO_SUNXI) += sunxi_display.o
+obj-$(CONFIG_VIDEO_SUNXI) += sunxi_display.o videomodes.o

Thanks,
B.R. Oake.
