U-Boot does not initialize _all_ registers, only those it really needs
to.

BDm4GDB also initializes only the registers you tell it in  the  init
script.

Modify  your  init  script  for  BDM4GDB  to  initialize  only  those
registers  you  really  need, and/or those that don't cause conflicts
with U-Boot. For a start, just initialize  SYPCR  (to  turn  off  the
watchdog), and nothing else.

Best regards, and a Happy New Year!
