Bisecting my Linus vanilla git, I found that the problem appeared
after the following patch was applied:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=566f74f6b2f8b85d5b8d6caaf97e5672cecd3e3e


After reverting the patch, Linus vanilla git kernel again boots ok on
the board. Please, take a look.
