So it just hangs when booting the kernel. Do you have any early debugging
support (earlycon, DEBUG_LL) for your kernel?

Always possible of course, but it didn't trigger on my boneblack.

Kernel size can indeed be an issue. I believe the failure to boot on ape6evm
from U-Boot mentioned in the commit is caused by that, too.
Note that the error message only shows up with DEBUG_LL enabled (and
some manual editing of Kconfig.debug to make that work).

I'll try changing the kernel load address on ape6evm, too.
