There were NULL pointers dereferenced because DM was used

   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")

Uh, but isn't this called from common/spl/spl.c ? I suspect the SoCFPGA
SPL is a bit weird.

Ehrm, I copied this from spl_s10.c, but other boards seem to do this, too. Honestly, I don't know how any SPL can use DM serial without this being called. Maybe other SPLs initialize the serial port later (not in board_init_f).

common/spl/spl.c calls spl_init(), which also calls the part that spl_early_init() calls.

I can only take other SPLs as reference and from reading all the code, I think this should be good.
