So is it just 4.1 that is having problems? And if so, how critical is it to have 4.1? I'm currently working to move the hikey AOSP side to 4.4, so I'd like to understand the need better so I can prioritize this issue.
Now 4.1 has problem. There have no any output from uart0/3 after uboot jump to kernel.
I think there are two problems with hi6220-hikey.dts on 4.1 branch when booting with U-Boot. Firstly, the 0x7400000 bytes memreserve at 0x0 is buggy, since we use reserved-memory node to reserve parts of that memory region. We are fine with UEFI, because UEFI doesn't use /memreserve/ in DTB. Secondly, the last 16MiB memory is marked as secured for TrustZone by ATF. If kernel tries to use that section of memory, we will have problem. U-Boot works around this by coding the physical memory size as 1024 - 16 = 1008 MiB. So to get the kernel work with U-Boot, we only need to remove the /memreserve/ line below from hi6220-hikey.dts.
/memreserve/ 0x00000000 0x07400000;
But a better change should be something like below, IMO.
Thanks for hints, Shawn. For 4.1's boot failure, it does related with /memreserve/. Below two patches are to fix booting failure: one patch is for kernel, I also think this patch can fix kernel 3.18's issue. Another patch is to fix uboot so that kernel can see correct info of memory regions:
Kernel's patch:

Now in dts it combines /memreserve/ and reserved-memory two methods to reserve memory regions; so finally it introduce panic which caused by allocate zero page in early_init().
This will not introduce any issue when use UEFI, due EFI stub will remove /memreserve/ from DTB; but it will work with u-boot. So polish dts to use memory node to carve memory regions out.
