That's what we call a "critical POST failure".

What you want is this commit:

8a484d2b87067bfbf83583606600486ff4b4f0a2

    The patch introduces the CRITICAL feature of POST tests. If the test
    marked as POST_CRITICAL fails then the alternative, post_critical,
    boot-command is used. If this command is not defined then U-Boot
    enters into interactive mode.

You can find this in the lwmon5 branch of the U-Boot  git  repository
where  it  is  queued up ready for merge into mainline as soon as the
next merge window opens again.

Best regards,

Documentation is the castor oil of programming.
Managers know it must be good because the programmers hate it so much.
