Hum, I see. I never used the NXP fork, I only ever used upstream.

This should be OK.

This commit does not exist in upstream ?

u-boot$ git describe 28e5debc019b347436bdebd8978a971ce5a6582c
fatal: 28e5debc019b347436bdebd8978a971ce5a6582c is neither a commit nor blob

Can you try and force-deselect CONFIG_CLK=y (and possibly the same for 
SPL) ? I think that gets pulled in by this commit too, it might've not 
been selected on your board before. And if that's not easily possible, 
try and revert these three:

129f5102d29 ("clk: imx8m: reduce rate table duplication")
11c8ab01f3e ("clk: imx8mq: Add a clock driver for the imx8mq")
a375c6f3fbe ("dt-bindings: imx8mq-clock: add mainline definitions")

I would like to know whether pulling in the clock support might be the 
actual source of problems.
