Yes, I use this chainloading also quite frequently on some platforms.
It should generally work on platforms with SPL support. Where the
preloader / SPL / BootROM has initialized the base HW and the SDRAM.
So that the U-Boot proper can get loaded into SDRAM. So it should
also work on SoCFPGA. I have to admit, that I haven't tested it
lately on SoCFPGA though.

As mentioned above, I've not tested on this platform lately, sorry.
But I assume that you also test the latest release version, yes?
And current master as well. Also failing there?

Thanks,
