That's my understanding as well.

Check if R420 and R423 are populated. These are the required pull-ups.
On Rev D they are populated. You might be able to add them yourself.

Even if you have an Rev A-C PCB, this fix can already be applied; it
was on my board! (the bottom of the board mentions the schematic
revision)

The resistors have a silkscreen designator block called X, the
resistors are situated to the left and bottom of the silkscreen X.
IIRC, between the flash and Px020 part.

On the left side of R420 (or R423) I measured the block wave from the
RTC, which fires the 32kHz interrupt rate on IRQ0. This fixed by the
u-boot patch.

Regards,

Leon.
