With the patch in place, I removed meta-ti from bblayers.conf
Just using meta-yocto-bsp, meta-poky, meta-yocto and meta

Test Case 1:

Ran MACHINE=beaglbone bitbake u-boot (and then core-image-minimal) and 
it built it for me.
u-boot-beaglebone-v2016.03+gitAUTOINC+df61a74e68-r0.img

Test Case 2:
rm tmp, cache and did a cleansstate
Enabled EXTERNALSRC and built u-boot using MACHINE=beaglebone bitbake u-boot
u-boot-beaglebone-v2016.03+git999-r0.img

Thanks
