[U-Boot] U-Boot hangs after uncompressing kernel image on MPC5200B

Thank you for your reply Mr. Likely!

I was indeed using the wrong image file. So I've tried the uImage
generated by the kernel build, and it still hangs.
It might be the addresses I'm using. I've read some FAQs sections that
seemed to give me some hope, but they all were related to wrong RAM
addresses or not related to device trees at all, just to the old cuImage
booting procedures.

Anyway, thanks for your interest, Mr. Likely.

  If you want to use the 3 argument bootm (kerneladdr, rootfsaddr,
  dtbaddr) then you need to use the uImage produced by the kernel
  build,
  *not* the cuImage. The cuImage is a backwards compatible image for
  the older 2 argument bootm command.
