Thanks. I guess my current thought is that in the absence of adding
earlycon to the kernel args, to perhaps get more info out of the kernel
as to when / where it's dying, that bootm_size should be set to
0x10000000 (256MB) to replicate the old behavior, on this platform.
Jaehoon, do you have any other ideas?
