Can you not compile a i.MX7-EVK barebox and run it on the EVK?
If this doesn't work, this is a different issue.

DEBUG_LL lets barebox print a > symbol first thing it boots. This should
work for you regardless of any PMIC configuration.

Then that's what you need to focus on. Prior to that '>', not much
code has run. If you don't come that far, chances are you set up your serial port
wrong (looks correct to me though) or your DCD table is wrong...
