No problem ;-), the hint was/is very valuable!

So there are the following possibilities:

- never update rpi-firmware to not break legacy u-boot (and maybe edk2 and
  maybe linux-mainline and maybe ...) setups

- delay the rpi-firmware update until up-to-date u-boot (and edk2 and ...)
  are available (as this bump seems to fix some other regressions e.g
  'kernel: Second attempt to fix the CPU startup failure' [1]

- apply the rpi-firmware update now and hope that this email thread is
  found by all people affected by the u-boot (and ...) defect, but
  keeps the default buildroot/rpi users up-to-date ;-)

Regards,
Peter
