Device tree is correct and it matches.

The reason is the memory controller is not initialized correctly by Uboot=
=2E

After reverting Uboot from upstream one (with basic support) to legacy
one, no such problem anymore.

To my surprise, it's UBoot to initialize the memory controller, not the
rockchip idbloader nor the trusted image.

So it's the equvilent of X86 machine check exception?

Anyway, at least I learned something about the new ARM world.
