I haven't launched it for a couple of months, but I'm not aware of any
issue with HEAD on Armada38x. I'll try to check on one of my boards.

Which version of u-boot are you using? I guess it may be a device tree
issue - is the one @0x2040000 basing on the sys/gnu/dts/arm/ version
(equivalent of the mainline Linux kernel one)?

Which config are you using?
