I actually solved the problem by using realloc() rather than using a
list_head.

I've merged the console multiplexing stuff into HEAD but hesitate to
post it because my previous patch (setting GD_FLG_DEVINIT) is still
unresolved.

But if the window is now open I'll post the new patch without resolution
of the other one.  However, this approach may well lead to an unusable
U-Boot if the user wants to set nc as a console in the environment.
