Not correct:

System Configuration Register 0 ->0000 0000 0001 0001 0001 0001 0100 0100

Not correct. You have here 010, so XTAL with 3-byte ADR

CHIP_MODE: 011: XTAL with 4-byte ADR.

Mainline U-Boot reports this:

CPU:   MT7628 Rev 1.2 - Boot from XTAL (4-Byte SPI Addr)

and the new code from Weijie reports this:

CPU:   MediaTek MT7688A ver:1 eco:2
Boot:  DDR2, SPI-NOR 4-Byte Addr, CPU clock from XTAL
Clock: CPU: 580MHz, Bus: 193MHz, XTAL: 40MHz

One important difference which might explain a lot, it XTAL_FREQ_SEL
which is 0 in your case and 1 in my case.

IIUTC, then the new code from Weijie takes this XTAL selection
into account. Weijie might comment on this. I suggest that you give
this "u-boot-mtmips.bin" binary a try. Good luck. :)

Thanks,
Stefan
