There should not be a size limit for SPL fat load.

What may happen is that SPL code is overwritten before it exits, or
U-Boot itself is corrupted after being loaded.

I assume you've seen the SPL banner and not the U-Boot one; that alone
does not tell us whether SPL or U-Boot did hang. Can you build U-boot
with debug enabled? If this results in too big an SPL image, then try
and at least enable debug for the image chainloading parts, so that you
can see how far SPL code gets run.

No problem.
