I am using chained boot (NOLO->u-boot->kernel (zImage +dtb
concatenated) on a real n900
I have the same issue as well. using omap2plus_defconfig.
I was able to bisect next tags as follows: next-20141128 worked,
next-20141201 stopped booting and the change was new dts addition,
removing the dts addition helped next-20141201 boot as well.
Current state:

https://github.com/nmenon/kernel-test-logs/blob/v3.19-rc3/omap2plus_defconfig/n900.txt#L448
I had complained originally here:

up on the thread, got distracted.
