Hi Simon,
I'm back working on this old issue. Thanks for your help with this!
So, SPL support for Atmel/Microchip SAMA5D3 is still broken in the latest mainline, at least for the Xplained board with the MMC configuration.
My comments and further questions below...

Hi,
Sorry, no messaging quoting, I was not subscribed to the list at that time.
Merging this change into master actually broke the SPL on Atmel/Microchip SAMA5D3, at least booting from MMC:
RomBOOT
<debug_uart> Could not initialize timer (err -11)
Could not initialize timer (err -11)
Could not initialize timer (err -11) ...
I'll look for a fix, but suggestions are welcome!
Now, it's:
Could not initialize timer (err -19) (-19 is -ENODEV /* No such device */)
The board might need CONFIG_TIMER_EARLY, but otherwise I think it is a case of figuring out why the timer is used before it is available.
I tried to enable CONFIG_TIMER_EARLY but it fails at link time:
LD u-boot arm-linux-ld.bfd: lib/built-in.o: in function `get_tbclk': /home/mike/work/git/git.denx.de/u-boot/lib/time.c:70: undefined reference to `timer_early_get_rate' arm-linux-ld.bfd: lib/built-in.o: in function `get_ticks': /home/mike/work/git/git.denx.de/u-boot/lib/time.c:90: undefined reference to `timer_early_get_count' make: *** [Makefile:1765: u-boot] Error 1
This is not a surprise, as according to https://elixir.bootlin.com/u-boot/latest/C/ident/timer_early_get_rate,%C2%A0 timer_early_get_rate() is not implemented on ARM, only on sandbox (drivers/timer/sandbox_timer.c) and on x86 (drivers/timer/tsc_timer.c).
So, I'm moving to your second suggestion...
You can use dm_dump_all() to print out available devices and whether they are probed.
Done, I added dm_dump_all to lib/time.c right before the panic() message:

I'm not familiar enough with U-Boot yet (and with SAMA5D3 support either) to see why the timer device is missing here, but I hope our Microchip friends can give us further clues...
Thanks again,
Cheers,
Michael.
