Sorry, false alarm. Seems I messed up something when writing out the 624
MHz version and happen to fix that while testing the 672 one. But now
also the upstream config works. And I suspect/hope that the lower
frequency will resolve the sporadic crashes of the board that I saw in
the past...

Thanks,
Jan

I've a 1.5 years old OPi Zero that was running uboot 2017.01 so far. I
just tried to update to 2018.05, also using the new defconfig. The
result was that uboot got stuck early during the first lines of output.
Then I changed the DRAM clock back to 672, and things seem to work find.

Are we facing different board revisions that need different settings, or
could the lowering be incorrect?

Applied to u-boot-sunxi/master
