[U-Boot] boot Hangs when Initrd size increases in FIT image

Hello All,

Im booting Linux on arm64 using FIT multi image (image + initrd + DTB). So
if I increase the initrd size (from 16 MB -> 20MB) board hangs at "starting
kernel"). However if I change the load address of bootm (from 0x2000000 to
0x1000000) it boots successfully.  Any pointers on why this is booting at
lower load address? thanks in advance.

Board config : 2 GB ram (0x00000000 - 0x8000000)
Init high enabled (so initrd is relocated to high mem)
FDT_high=0xffffffffffffffff so DTB is used in place. 
FDT load adress is (0x9000000)

Following is the console o/p:
