A new uboot patch to support >2TB HDD? (no replies)

A few months ago I bought a 3TB WD HDD and I returned it to the store after I realized that uBoot didn't support HDD greater that 2TB. It was just impossible to boot my Pogoplug V2 with the HDD attached, although the drive was working fine if attached after boot process. Today, I came across a patch released last month that I believe would fix this problem:

As I'm not an expert, I would like to seek advice from others before attempting anything. Maybe someone more knowledgeable could compile a more recent version of uBoot that would allow HDD with more that 2TB?

Thanks!
