Boot regression on am335x-hs-evm

[LABBE Corentin]

Hello

I hit a boot regression on am335x-hs-evm.
On current uboot, the board does not boot at all.
This board uses both MLO and u-boot.img and only MLO was the problem.

After a bisect, I found that e41651fffda7 ("dm: Support parent devices with 
of-platdata") was the problem.
Reverting this patch lead to a success boot.

I cutdown the revert to a minimal fix:

                        break;
                if (ret != -EAGAIN && !result)

I cannot debug further since printf() is not working at this stage.

Since I wanted to know which error was badly handled, I tried to do this:

But errorcount is always 0 which is puzzling me since according to my think, 
lists_bind_drivers() is ran before secure_boot_verify_image().

Any idea on how to debug further ?

Thanks
