Can you share a full boot-log (including all the u-boot output etc.)
so I can see exactly how the kernel is being loaded?    Especially the
u-boot version?

As $SUBJECT patch seems to be changing clocks around, perhaps this is
an issue where some u-boot dependency is uncovered, and older versions
of u-boot don't play well with this change.
