I think you are missing CONFIG_OF_UPSTREAM=y. I applied this on top of
next and only got things compiling after turning it manually on.

No luck with booting next(29ab19c2bead)+this yet, though. No output after

[9.356454] Boot image set name: "PolarFire-SoC-HSS::U-Boot"

Am I missing dependencies?
