BTW the kernel boots if I compile it with CONFIG_ARM_APPENDED_DTB=y and then do
a cat vexpress.dtb zImage > zImage.fdt and then use zImage.fdt as kernel to
boot.
So I'm quite sure the problem must be in the Bds code of the UEFI boot
loader. It does not seem to be able to parse the DTB properly.
The DTS I'm using is this one:
