I agree, it is not exactly the same and I really appreciate the time you 
spent testing it. However I still don't understand your comments 
regarding 'u-boot,dm-pre-reloc', as without this property there wouldn't 
be a usdhc3 node in the DTB for SPL. Could you please clarify?

I see, thanks for clarifying the issue related to "Tested-by" tag. Sorry 
for asking but, is it not necessary to send a v3 to avoid the "silly 
hunk" you pointed me?
