Yes current U-Boot is OK with ext3 parsing to bring the kernel in.

If you updated your U-Boot partway through your testing, for a while we
put out a U-Boot version that had 50% chance per boot to break USB
functionality for the whole session.  So I you updated it a few weeks
ago and then today, it can be that.
