There were NULL pointers dereferenced because DM was used too early without correct initialization: - malloc_simple returned NULL when called from preloader_console_init() because gd->malloc_limit was 0 - uclass_add dereferenced gd->uclass_root members which were NULL because dm_init (or one of its relatives) has not been called.
All this is fixed by calling spl_early_init before calling preloader_console_init.
This fixes commit 73172753f4f3 ("ARM: socfpga: Convert to DM serial")
Signed-off-by: Simon Goldschmidt simon.k.r.goldschmidt@gmail.com --- v2: - Don't remove gd->malloc_base assignment at the end of board_init_f() (moved to an extra patch)
