I think we have also problem with u-boot and rocko 2.4.x

I observed with 2.4.x for i.mx6 and sitara that u-boot 2017.01 does not 
function anymore properly (networking is broken due to compiler upgrade 
with 2.4.x [1]).

So I built u-boot 2017.03 (a pre-release version) with 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 
and it was fixed.

Please note, that I did not do this via bitbake, but using the SDK.

So I think it would be a good idea to get u-boot 2017.03 to build with a 
recent version of rocko as well.
