7d9 is 2009:

sapphira                MACH_SAPPHIRA           SAPPHIRA                2009

which is a 'sapphira' platform, not a ti8168evm.  Whoever programmed
your boot loader stole some other platforms ID.

I suggest you check whether your version of u-boot supports changing
the ID via a script.  I don't know u-boot that well, so I can't tell
you how.
