What about adding some debug prints to the prefetch setup function and
see if it is executed at all?

I don't currently have the setup at hand, sorry. But the number I recall
from an email conversation back then is: The time from power-on, loading
SPL, loading U-Boot, leeching a 6MB uImage, jumping into it waiting for
the console to start dumping the kernel boot messages was less than 5
seconds in total.



Thanks,
Daniel
