Found the reason of the problem on my platform. It was due to the too
early change_gcs_control() invocation. Since mips_cm_probe() is now
called after the prom_init() method the later function can't access
any CM-register. So for the system to boot up I had to move the GCR
controler register update to the plat_mem_setup() method in my
platform code. After that the system booted up successfully. Double
checked the rest of the platforms in the vanilla kernel repo for having
the similar issue. It seems to me there is no platform left in the
kernel with such potential problem presented.

But then I decided to test out the actual GCR-base address setup
procedure implemented in this patch set, and found another problem
unrelated to my platform. I'll submit the problem summary in reply to
the respective patch in this series.
