OK, I built U-Boot with load address 0x00108000 and also see nothing at boot.
So, I've reproduced at least one of your problems.

(This is with an Android-style nvflash that configures the BCT to tell the CPU
to load/boot the bootloader at address 0x00108000, so this should work.)

So, I've added this observation into the bug I filed. I'll let you know once
we've had a chance to investigate and/or solve this.

Sorry this isn't working yet; it's pretty early days for U-Boot on Tegra
outside of ChromeOS, which uses the modified nvflash and hence doesn't hit
these issues.
