Tim,

something in your board config or code must be different, then.
Do you use HDMI or LVDS display?

I've tested with current master and a modified wandboard configuration:

U-Boot SPL 2021.10-00525-g7a508a7245-dirty (Oct 07 2021 - 23:32:09 +0200)
Trying to boot from MMC1


U-Boot 2021.10-00525-g7a508a7245-dirty (Oct 07 2021 - 23:32:09 +0200)

CPU:   Freescale i.MX6SOLO rev1.1 at 792 MHz
Reset cause: WDOG
DRAM:  512 MiB
MMC:   FSL_SDHC: 4, FSL_SDHC: 1, FSL_SDHC: 0
Loading Environment from MMC... OK
auto-detected panel HDMI
Display: HDMI (1024x768)
In:    serial
Out:   vidconsole
Err:   vidconsole
Board: Wandboard rev B1
Net:   eth0: ethernet at 2188000
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0 
=> print stdout 
stdout=serial,vidconsole

HDMI monitor displays logo and video console text output starting with:
Board: Wandboard rev B1
Net:   eth0: ethernet at 2188000
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0 

It works on wandboard.

The wandboard_defconfig in master has CONFIG_CONSOLE_MUX disabled
and CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE enabled. Therefore I enabled
CONFIG_CONSOLE_MUX and disabled CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
via menuconfig for this test.
And additionally I used below patch to enable building this configuration:
