To be correct:
- original u-boot is able to boot the oversized kernel only when it was
flashed through serial access ("IOVST MAIN MENU" -> "U SPIFlash Upgrade")
- original u-boot throws "Bad Data CRC" when the oversized kernel is
flashed through reset button TFTP recovery (10.10.10.254 + "kernel").
