Hi Gerd,
This bug fix is needed:
| commit 11a7234491cb2a027b0fa5e82af38a3e78b44c80
| Author: Kevin O'Connor <kevin at koconnor.net>
| Date: Tue Mar 5 17:52:21 2013 +0800
|
| Cache boot-fail-wait to avoid romfile access after POST.
|
| Memory allocated with malloc_tmp() can't be used after the POST phase.
| So, access boot-fail-wait in post phase and store it for the boot
| phase to use. This fixes the regression introduced by commit
| 59d6ca52.
