The patches I'm referring to are part of the checked-in u-boot ports.
 They used to be in beaglebone and rpi at least, but the beaglebone
stuff appears to currently be in a state of flux.  The rpi port still
has the patches, though.  The patches aren't rpi-specific, I've been
using them on all arm u-boot stuff (I have uncommited changes for
wandboard and other imx6 systems, and we use this stuff at $work too).

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/sysutils/u-boot-rpi/files/patch-common_cmd__boot.c?view=co

The last version of u-boot I know for sure those two patches apply
cleanly to was 2016.01; I haven't looked at any u-boot releases since
then.
