I don't think this is a problem on microblaze - or at least can't see
any problem related to that.


I put SPL to DDR and it is loading image from NOR flash and it is working
with DM enabled.

I have done some changes in SPL to support DM

DM_WARN is printf at the end - that's why disable it. DEVICE_REMOVE
is disable for me - don't want to remove devices.

STDIO is disabled for SPL too.

The whole DM code is new for me but I will see what I can do with it.
Definitely any example will be more then helpful

This is stat for the current version.
