I think we have a similar diversion between Linux and U-Boot .dts here,
given that the U-Boot support was merged earlier.
Updating the DTs for H5 and the board(s) was on my plan, but it's a bit
more involved since it affects the H3 .dts as well (H3 and H5 use a
shared stub .dtsi now). Also the H5 .dtsi just got into Linux
(4.12-rc1), so it hasn't been in an officially released kernel yet.

Your ATF build is quite old, it doesn't really support the H5.
Please you the latest HEAD[1], it should print the SoC name at the
beginning, and then won't try to configure an AXP on the H5.
Please let me know if that fixes your problem.

Cheers,
Andre.
