No Petr's explanation is right, it is not U-Boot binary that is broken
but the "U-Boot environment" commands that explain the booting procedure.

We set it to pull in the first 2MB of the kernel only then jump to the
start of it.

Now kernels are >2MB, you get only part of the kernel image and then bad
CRC is true.

In Qi, the private bootloader environment concept is removed so this
situation should not be possible.
