Is it possible to boot a mainline (or more recent) u-boot with sunxi kernel 
3.4?

I tried to boot 2014.10 with no success. Then I saw the discussion around 
OLD_SUNXI_KERNEL_COMPAT and from what I have seen it should be possible?

As I have seen the patches for OLD_SUNXI_KERNEL_COMPAT are not in mainline 
u-boot, so I switched to fork "u-boot-sunxi", master branch from denx git 
where the patches are included.

I added 

+S:OLD_SUNXI_KERNEL_COMPAT=y

to the A20-OLinuXino_MICRO_defconfig file, but still it is not working.

I only see the last message from U-Boot:

Starting kernel ...

and then it stops. The same kernel boots fine with the Sunxi U-Boot.

Versions used:

Linux Sunxi Kernel 3.4 latest commit 
9a1cd034181af628d4145202289e1993c1687db6
Working: U-Boot Sunxi, 23.09.2014, commit 
ee425f94b488a4304c136a171bb8fdec0d835032
Not Working: U-Boot u-boot-sunxi fork, latest master commit 
44fd5914fb08ffcd96c9db7e448787f1d2aed801

Any ideas why this is not working (or why it should´t?)
