Hi all,

I have a strange problem on a self-developed MPC5200B system (more or less like the 
Freescale "Lite" board).  On that board, I use kernel 3.2.68 with my own 
machine init file, which is almost the same as for Lite 
(arch/powerpc/platforms/52xx/lite5200.c).  Everything works just fine.

When I use 3.18.9 with the same init file modifications and compiled with more or less the same 
.config, plus an adjusted DTB (e.g. rename the "fsl,mpc5200b-psc-uart" entries to 
"fsl,mpc5200b-psc"), the boot process from u-boot simply hangs after:

<snip>
## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 01000000 ...
   Image Name:   Linux-3.18.9
   Created:      2015-03-30   7:23:52 UTC
   Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
   Data Size:    1972101 Bytes =  1.9 MB
   Load Address: 00000000
   Entry Point:  00000000
   Verifying Checksum ... OK
## Flattened Device Tree blob at 01200000
   Booting using the fdt blob at 0x1200000
   Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK
   Loading Device Tree to 007fa000, end 007ff2d9 ... OK
</snip>

Any idea what goes wrong here?  I recall that I used the same approach outlined 
above to move from 2.6.32 to 3.2, which worked immediately.  Might my U-Boot be 
too old (I use 2009.03)?

Thanks in advance,
Albrecht.
