Broken P2020 board since commit be7dbb60c5bf ("Convert CONFIG_SYS_IMMR to Kconfig")

Hello!

In current master branch is U-Boot for P2020 board (powerpc mpc85xx
based) built by P2020RDB-PC_SDCARD_defconfig completely broken. U-Boot
does not work at all and on UART is nothing printed.

I run git bisect and it found commit which broke this P2020 board:

  be7dbb60c5bfa38ea444fe7de1dca8bd35f83f5b is the first bad commit

      Convert CONFIG_SYS_IMMR to Kconfig

      This converts the following to Kconfig:
         CONFIG_SYS_IMMR

      We do this by consolidating the SYS_IMMR options we have and providing
      defaults.

      We also, in the few places where M68K was also sharing code with these
      platforms, define it within the file to CONFIG_SYS_MBAR to match usage.
      This should be cleaned up longer term.

So it is relatively new change (Dec 2021).

Tom, any idea how this commit could broke P2020 board which is mpc85xx
platform? I do not see nothing suspicious in this commit. Before this
commit BootROM can successfully boot SPL without any issues and SPL
prints info on UART. This board use include/configs/p1_p2_rdb_pc.h
config file and it was not touched at all.

Priyanka, Wolfgang, you are marked as maintainers, do you know how to
debug this issue? Or do you have some P2020 board or other mpc85xx
based, so you could test if U-Boot is working on this platform?


For reference I built U-Boot SPL by these commands:

make CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnuspe- P2020RDB-PC_SDCARD_defconfig spl/u-boot-spl.bin
boot_format config_sram_p2020rdb.dat spl/u-boot-spl.bin -spi u-boot.sdcard.bin

boot_format and config_sram_p2020rdb.dat are taken from the upstream git
repo from the latest branch nxp/sdk-v2.0.x:
https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-yocto-sdk/boot-format

u-boot.sdcard.bin is then copied to SD card (starting from sector zero).
