This is because the boot loader passes in the wrong machine ID.

If you have the u-boot "arcNumber" parameter, try setting that to
the correct machine ID before booting the kernel.  Otherwise, you
can prepend a bit of code to the zImage that sets the machine ID to
the right value, e.g. for the 6281 RD:

	(echo -en "\x06\x1c\xa0\xe3\x92\x10\x81\xe3"; cat zImage) > zImage.rd88f6281

and then use mkimage on zImage.rd88f6281 to create a uImage that you
can boot on the board.
