Yes, we spoke about this a bit.

It's not so much a revision as it is getting the right contents in the
EEPROM. As it's a community board, it's generally only supported over at
beagleboard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Jason Kridner recommends posting support
questions there (like why isn't my A2 supported in U-Boot?). If there
isn't some solution suggested there for updating the A2 I would contact
him directly. I have an A1 Bone here that also doesn't work with
mainline U-Boot even after configuring the EEPROM. You can try this
procedure if you want to write the proper contents in, an A2 may work
but for some reason there's no available history on Bone revisions prior
to A3. I vaguely recall a lot of chatter around the phy and so forth in
the A1 to A2 timeframe so it's entirely possible that your A2 will work
with just the eeprom contents programmed. Without it, it's guaranteed to
fail as the pin muxing is tied to detecting the board this way. Also,
you may need to change <offset>.1 in the below example to <offset>.2 for
your eeprom i/o to work as A2 may require an address length of 2.
