Facepalm, as I was expecting I had error in my methodology... see below

This I used years before your patch and by some reason I confused to use
new omap3-beagle-ab4.dtb when testing your patch yesterday:

> cat arch/arm/boot/dts/omap3-beagle-ab4.dtb >>arch/arm/boot/zImage

without realizing my Beagle Board version is not between A to B4 but C2.
So when using the omap3-beagle.dtb your patch fixes the regression I
found.
