Dear maintainers,

U-Boot on my Odroid U2 fails to initialize as of commit 
e44d7e73fe0d649693d8d0a110cd7632bc919273 (introduced after v2022.10). I 
get the following output:

This repeats indefinitely. I'm building U-Boot using the default config 
for board `odroid` and boot the Odroid from an SD card with firmware 
(`bl1`, `bl2` and `tzsw`) from Hardkernel's clone of the u-boot 
repository [1]. There are no peripherals connected apart from the SD 
card and the serial console. Please let me know if you need more 
information.

Best, Joost
