We are using uImages built with same parameters as those used in simple 
'make uImage', just with a DTB appended to zImage before running mkimage 
on it.

By default the load address is set to 0x40008000, where 0x40000000 is DRAM 
base.

Yes, it indeed helps. I tried with shifting the load address by 16 MiB to 
0x41008000 (by adjusting mkimage parameters) and it now boots fine.
