I could try it, but I do not think I would be able to gather more data.
I will try to find free time for this debugging on device either at the
end of this week or end of next week.

As I wrote in previous thread, main issue which makes it hard to debug
is that this error is not triggered in emulator.

I'm using standard config file without any modifications. It is:
configs/nokia_rx51_defconfig

In case you are interested, I'm compiling u-boot by commands:

export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
make nokia_rx51_config
make -j12 u-boot.bin
