Unfortunately your config doesn't work for me either, on my latest
spring-bridge.v6 branch.

It does switch them on, if I'm reading correctly:

https://github.com/afaerber/u-boot/blob/spring/board/samsung/smdk5250/smdk5250.c#L599

https://github.com/afaerber/u-boot/blob/spring/board/samsung/smdk5250/smdk5250.c#L907

Another observation I made is that sometimes in my testing (didn't spot
a pattern yet) after reboot or power-off/power-on the initial white
screen with the warning did not come up (no backlight), but Ctrl+U
worked fine and chain-loaded nv u-boot came up on screen okay.
