Do you have PBL enabled? Could you enable PBL if not? Additionally
could you revert:

commit 558d72dc5116fc6275ea77c783cc65d6d1a5b521

    ARM Samsung: fix booting from NAND with pbl
    
    The ARM pbl is linked at (TEXT_BASE - SZ_2M). This conflicts with the temporary
    stack used in s3c24x0_nand_boot. Moving the stack to (TEXT_BASE - SZ_2M) fixes
    this problem. With this patch a compressed barebox with pbl can boot on
    mini2440 from NAND.

I suspect This patch fixed booting with PBL enabled but broke booting
without PBL.
