I am not exactly sure to be honest. We were running with this patched
version for a while and it worked from what I remember.

But we have since updated u-boot and the Kernel and the latest version
does not depend on this patch.

Nevertheless, I can try to recreate the problem and see if I can figure it
out now. I feel like I might pick up on a few more things now that went
unnoticed by me when I created the patch.
