The following patch will make it boot again, not perfect, I need think
more out an elegant fix. Disable DM SPL? Or recalculate the address.
Enable DM consumes too much
on chip ocram malloc area. Need to think about it how we could
use less ocram for SPL malloc area.

Can't you put the malloc area and stack into DRAM ?
Look at SPL_STACK_R and MALLOC_SIMPLE
