Can you please provide me the exact commands to run to reproduce this 
problem ? I just spent a lot of time trying to find this one single 
command in a wall of text, "ut dm spi_find", which I think is the one 
failing for you ? It seems to work for me with and without the patch:

$ ./u-boot -d arch/sandbox/dts/test.dtb
