The hang appears to be in the timer code, where the spl hangs due to a
div by zero. When inspecting, gd->arch.timer_rate_hz is zero at this
point.

However I also noticed the cycling code introduces a symbol that ends
up in BSS. If I give cyclic_running a non-zero value it moves back
into the data section, and the SPL and u-boot proper make it all the
way through.

This suggests there's still something wrong with the BSS handling for
the 2600 SPL (not resolved by f6810b749f2e ("aspeed/ast2600: Fix SPL
linker script") or the follow up fix). If I use the common arm spl
linker script, the system boots.

Chai Wei, I think we need a different solution for placing the BSS
outside of the flash.

Cheers,

Joel
