So your kernel has a size of 22484352 bytes. We want to places the
kernel at a place where we do not risk that it overwrites itself during
decompression. We assume that the kernel gets five times bigger during
decompression. So we put it at 0x80000000 + 22484352 * 5. Here the image
takes 22484352 bytes, so ends at 0x80000000 + 22484352 * (5 + 1) which
is already inside the malloc area.
Try the attached patch, it should solve that issue.
Besides this obvious bug you can also adjust the sime of the malloc
area. By default roughly half of the available RAM is used for malloc,
but in Kconfig you can adjust it to a smaller size which gives you more
place for the kernel.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: bootm: make sure we place the kernel in free memory
When placing the kernel image in memory make sure we do not
place it too high, outside of the available memory, outside of the
available memory.
