thanks for this hint, i also tried this. But unfortunately without success.
But it is good to know that this way on your side works.

what i've done to try make it work:

add to my dts:
     chosen {
         stdout-path = &uart1;
     };

&uart1 {
     u-boot,dm-spl;
     u-boot,dm-preloc;
     status = "okay";
};

so the device should be present during spl stage and console should be 
set to it.

# Serial drivers
#
CONFIG_BAUDRATE=115200
CONFIG_SERIAL_PRESENT=y
CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_PRESENT=y
CONFIG_DM_SERIAL=y
CONFIG_SPL_DM_SERIAL=y
CONFIG_MXC_UART=y

maybe i'm still missing something.
