e4afcb2876eeeddd2376c8b07808276b75862498 is actually bad.
7e2ae620e15ef578b8f2812ec21ec07fae6c1e2f is bad (3 months ago)
91e1bc53c4b61cd7b871d485f4c136084245e9a2 is bad

I can't build before 91e1bc53c4b61cd7b871d485f4c136084245e9a2 due to libfdt
incompatibilities :-|

*however* I found an old u-boot for the rpi2 build in 2017
(which i'm pretty sure worked)
(ebca2083d3689c77c7d1365f1e6862b55abef8a2)

This one was even built with our own toolchain before
we began to rely on host toolchains.


The big difference in the room is the pre-u-boot loaders
from the pi foundation. We're using their latest:

https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/boot


I reverted bootloader.bin and start.elf from 2017:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/dc93c7922bb31f20759a94a6e000299da8e331e3/boot/start.elf
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/dc93c7922bb31f20759a94a6e000299da8e331e3/boot/bootcode.bin

And it now works :-|
