Okay, look at this again and "I" think you'll see your mistake:

Directions: U-boot:

"git checkout v2014.10 -b tmp"

Output over serial from U-boot:

"U-Boot SPL 2015.01-rc3-00163-gd8bec60-dirty (Dec 25 2014 - 17:21:47)"

I'll give you one quick "guess" which step you skipped..

(and the reason you get that error with 2015.01-rc3-git is a
regression/patch that hasn't hit master git yet..)
