Have you already double checked if this isn't a typo on your file?

Maybe email app only messed your text, but looks like typo to me.

In order to isolate if this is a yocto problem or not. You can build
u-boot using a stand alone toolchain instead. As soon as you have it
working you start to integrate it on yocto. This way you are sure
u-boot source code is ok.
