https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2018-September/341745.html not sure whether similar issue apply?

[bamontales]

Do we have a fix for this issue? I'm also having this on AST2600A1 EVB board.

[shenki]

Using the latest SDK, or the openbmc u-boot tree (which is based on the SDK), NCSI is now working.

@bamontales if you're using the EVB you're probably not using NCSI, as the Ethernet devices are direct attached phys instead of NCSI devices. Feel free to open another issue about EVB network trouble.
