Only if you update your u-boot version.

Ditto.

1.2.0 predates the libfdt support.  You probably don't have any fdt 
support in your u-boot (if you do, it is old and crude and probably 
doesn't any of the fixups that Kumar refers to).

I would strongly recommend you upgrade to the tip o' the tree or at 
least the latest release (1.3.4).  FDT support will be *much* better - 
we now has generic utility routines that fix up lots of stuff for you 
rather than the crufty by-hand fixups (if any) from the 1.2.0 timeframe.

Probably none unless Martyn upgrades.
