Thanks for the report. In fact, Linaro has already an updated git with a
similar patch.

https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=boot/u-boot-linaro-stable.git;a=commit;h=b4eb22a60d15240d280785df7948448824d86fe5

I think you can use this repository instead of the one on the wiki page.
I asked Linaro if it's possible to update the wiki page.

Cheers,
