I seem to have similar issues. I see a hang if DEBUG_LL/earlyprintk
aren't enabled, and an immediate reset if they are.


As an aside I'm using U-Boot to boot the kernel not just the binary
FW, and I needed the following U-Boot patch to get even
bcm2835_defconfig working on the RPi2 (and even then that only seems
to work with DEBUG_LL/earlyprintk enabled with the bcm2836 physical
addresses, and "console=tty1" removed from the kernel command-line).
