Your messages seem to have gone to the mailing list fine.  Just so you
see someone reply, here's a response, though it may not be
particularly helpful. It's kind of like "how do I do X" and someone
answers "have you tried Y"?

I have a ZCU102 eval board. I am not using mainline U-Boot, though,
and instead use Xilinx's version of U-Boot.

repo: git://github.com/xilinx/u-boot-xlnx.git
version: xilinx-v2020.2
defconfig: xilinx_zynqmp_virt

I do modify the config to have CONFIG_OF_LIST="zynqmp-zcu102-rev1.0".

SD boot with that works fine for me.  I understand the appeal of being
on mainline if possible, but consider trying Xilinx's tree to help
your debugging (if you still have SD issues with that, then perhaps it
is a hardware problem with your board?).

My own boot output is very similar up to this point, but then I get:

spl_load_image_fat_os: error reading image u-boot.bin, err - -2
[some ATF prints]
U-Boot 2020.01 (Nov 24 2021 - 19:05:46 -0700)


and full U-Boot is loaded at that point  (it ends up loading
u-boot.itb off the SD card, which contains the ATF, full U-Boot, and
the device tree for U-Boot, if I recall correctly)

Best of luck,
