Hmm that's not good, I thought only my broken board is suffering from that. I do always get the "U-Boot SPL" message though, where it hangs after that is random ranging from just after printing the "U-Boot SPL" line to somewhere in the middle of kernel booting.
Mine seems to behave exactly the same as yours, it takes 10-20 minutes of warming up before it'll go anywhere near booting linux, the first half of which it doesn't get beyond the the U-Boot SPL line. Once it does actually go into u-boot proper for the first time, it does get easier to boot it.
I haven't tried your u-boot patches yet, maybe they'll make it go slightly smoother on mine too.
I did have it running linux for reasonable amounts of time (>1 hour of mate desktop use), but that mostly depends on what mood it's in. Most of the time it just feezes a few minutes/seconds after getting to the login prompt (if it gets there at all).
