Well preferably you should fix the latest code and send a patch to make
it work again ;) However, that could become tricky. For doing so the
patch to enable the debug UART early may become useful. With this you
can use putc_ll and puthex_ll in early code.

I did some investigation. What happens here is really strange. First I
added a missing instruction cache invalidation. That alone doesn't fix
the problem. Inserting a nop fixes booting for me, see the attached
patch. If I move the nop up in the code it still works. If I move it
down, then the board does not work. I have no idea what's happening here
:(
