Description Adrian Torregrosa 2024-09-02 10:54:54 UTC 
Upgrading a couple of Allwinner A64 devices, namely Orange Pi Zero Plus and Sinovoip Banana Pi M64, to UBoot 2024.04 renders the devices unbootable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade the Allwinner A64 device with UBoot 2024.04
2. reboot

Actual Results:  
The device won't boot.

Expected Results:  
The device ought to boot.

Upon upgrading the devices show these lines on their consoles:

U-Boot SPL 2024.04 (Apr 03 2024 - 00:00:00 +0000)
DRAM: 2048 MiB
Trying to boot from MMC1

and they freeze there.
