Good point: Just tested our legacy firmware that was based on
https://git.ti.com/cgit/processor-sdk/processor-sdk-u-boot/log/?h=029e4c009aaeaee2d06aa8271dbd3a9e73a28aa7
(https://github.com/siemens/meta-iot2050/blob/master/recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot-iot2050-2019.01-ti-sdk.inc),
and it does not expose the issue so far. If I look at the transfer rate,
2.8 MiB/s with the old firmware vs. 11.x MiB/s with upstream, you
suggestion below may make the difference.

Trying that out now...
