u-boot has changed the preferred default from uImage to zImage somewhere 
between 2013.10-rc4 and the final 2013.10 release. The kernel now builds 
zImage by default and there's corresponding u-boot update:

Looks like you hit it at the wrong time... Sorry, that sometimes happens 
when there are multiple components being actively developed and the API 
between them changes...

Have you tried the latest update to 3.12-rc5? That combination seems to be 
building and booting fine, according to our automated reports:

The branch was and is called ti-linux-3.12.y and it hasn't changed since the 
beginning of 3.12 integration and is still there:

Both master and dylan are currently in sync and always are, when it comes to 
3.12-rc5 kernel and 2013.10 u-boot. Other recipes can differ between master 
and dylan, but the integration trees are the same. The above link to automated 
build and test report used dylan branch of meta-ti and the latest commit ID of 
f61008a20340373247ebfd8f381e377b21f11afe. If you want to use meta-ti master, 
then the corresponding commit ID is c11504664990f007c3903d349e7cc135a904f8e2.
