I see that I made some mistakes and missed some details in the
description. Sorry about that, I blame the lack of coffee :)

I did not use the DTS for the R2, as I had already seen that 4.9
failed to boot with the R2 DTS (also the no output-error). What I did
was that I took the mt7623-eMMC.dts and updated it (basically
uncommenting the switch-section) so that the compiler would not hit
any errors/warnings. I also reduced the amount of memory, as my board
only has 512MB RAM.
