I see the same issue for device-tree when number of pincontrol node > 100 in SPL
(only see for debug use case).

But normally it is managed in the function
(2 loops and re-alloc for the second loop if size > 100).

But the loop is not correctly managed, I think it is a issue introduced by 
Commit e178db1d7736a92951fdc7f1fd9b8ecf4d2877ba
fdtgrep: Fix logic of free() in do_fdtgrep()

=> retrun -1 added for the 1rst loop.

I have locally a patch, but I don't yet upstream it....
It is done today with:
	"tools: ftdgrep: correct the find regions loop in do_fdtgrep"
	http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?series=152371

Anatolij can you confirm that my patch correct also your issue ?
