[U-Boot] Hang while booting kernel via tftp/nfs on cubieboard2

[Ajay Garg <ajaygargnsit@gmail.com>]

Seems setting bootargs is not legal in bootz command, so segregated the two.
However, the end-result is same as in my original email.


tftp 0x49000000 sun7i-a20-cubieboard2.dtb

tftp 0x46000000 zImage-Cubieboard2

setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=192.168.0.1:/srv/nfs/cubieboard2,nfsvers=3
ip=192.168.0.2:192.168.0.1::255.255.255.0:cubieboard2 ignore_loglevel
cma=128M

bootz 0x46000000 - 0x49000000
