I having problems to actually boot a kernel when the genet driver is build into
U-Boot.

If I boot grub and linux-next from there, I get the following SError (when using
earlycon):
https://pastebin.com/c1sw2uZk

If I skip grub and boot the kernel directly from the SD:
load mmc 0:1 $kernel_addr_r Image
load mmc 0:1 $fdt_addr_r bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb
setenv bootargs "earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0xfe215040"
booti $kernel_addr_r - $fdt_addr_r

Gives a similar result.

Do you see similar issues?

Regards,
Matthias
