Do they /require/ the value to be 0, or simply currently have it set to 
0 because whoever set the value in U-Boot wasn't aware that a value of 0 
could cause issues with some hosts?

I'd be tempted to keep the same range as the Linux kernel and bump all 
boards up to a minimum value of 2. Presumably there's some good reason 
the kernel chose a minimum of 2, and in practice I expect increasing all 
boards to 2 isn't going to make any negative difference.

In particular, I'm thinking of that last sentence.
