Heh lookie here:

I just checked out the new u-boot code, patched it (manually, since some
paths and names internally have changed) with the RPI2 patch set, and....=

It works.

But I thought we were told it didn't due to changes in the API
component?  Note that this version supports a USB keyboard.... I can
break into the boot with it; I get a complaint about an interrupt
timeout on the console that repeats every few seconds during the time
I've done so (once I do so) but it doesn't impact being able to get
commands to the system and see the outcome.

The only thing I needed to do was hard-code one buffer size to the
minimum passed from the realloc call since the variable was undefined.=20
Other than that -- it works.

Now about rolling forward our u-boot version..... not sure what has to
be done in that regard but the actual patching against HEAD in the
u-boot git tree only took me about 15 minutes, and if we DID have a
current u-boot we'd have a USB keyboard for the Raspberry Pi2s (at
least, and possibly others in the series) all the way through the boot
sequence.
