OK this command worked for me.

So do we need a similar patch for u-boot ?
I am getting following error on Odroid U3+ and U-Boot 2020.10

Odroid #  setexp.b u0 *0x10000014; setexp.b u1 *0x10000015; setexp.b
u2 *0x10000016; setexp.b u3 *0x10000017; fdt addr ${fdtaddr}; fdt set
/soc/usb at 12110000/hub at 1/usbether at 1 local-mac-address [ 0 0 ${u0} ${u1}
${u2} ${u3} ]
No FDT memory address configured. Please configure
the FDT address via "fdt addr <address>" command.
Aborting!

Also added these command to boot.scr but still observing the failure
