Can you provide the full log of what you're doing? And what's in that image you're passing, exactly? Thanks.

OK, and is /tmp/kernel something with an appended dtb then?
Yes, single image suitable for single kermit UART transfer: cat arch/arm/boot/zImage arch/arm/boot/dts/armada-385-turris-omnia.dtb > /tmp/kernel
Well, OK, there we go. That's what you need to figure out how to fix booting of. You're hitting the panic in arch/arm/lib/bootm.c and need to make sure that (a) we do whatever is needed for appended dtb to be found by the kernel still/again and (b) check that ourselves, before panic or not, in that case. Before this was probably enabling ATAGs, but that wasn't (I think? I forget the magic behind appended dtb as it's been a while) actually used by Linux, just by U-Boot to not panic at that point.
Ok, thanks for hints. So seems that som unrelated code path via atags was used even for DTS booting. I also do not remember details. I will try to debug it...
Hello Tom!
I would like to know, what is required to enable same boot atags behavior like before applying that commit 9774462e34fa ("arm: Disable ATAGs support")?
I have enabled following U-Boot option (as it seems to be enough):
CONFIG_SUPPORT_PASSING_ATAGS=y
And also I have compiled kernel with following debug options:
CONFIG_DEBUG_LL=y CONFIG_DEBUG_MVEBU_UART0_ALTERNATE=y CONFIG_DEBUG_UNCOMPRESS=y
(to see early kernel output on mvebu UART console).
But I see only these lines on UART:
Starting kernel ...
DTB:0x014E0798 (0x00004F96) C:0x010000E0-0x014E5740->0x010AF400-0x01594A60 DTB:0x0158FAB8 (0x00004F96) Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.
And no more output. After some time watchdog reboots board.
Which means that something more in U-Boot is needed to enable atags booting (with possible appended DTB). Or that mentioned commit really broke booting. Any idea?
I looked at the kernel code and early code which runs prior decompresser looks if after zImage is valid magic number for DTB. And if yes, it replace content of variable where is pointer to atags struct by pointer to DTB. So if I understood it correctly then kernel completely ignores atags if there is attached DTB (after zImage). So for me it looks like U-Boot can set to r2 any value, it even does not have to be valid atags structure, kernel ignores it if it found attached DTB.
