Could you clarify your test setup: Are you using the original InSignal
SPL [1] with just your own u-boot.bin? Or do you have access to some
newer Samsung-signed SPL?

Sounds good.

Apart from this memory issue here, I noticed that CPUs don't appear to
be in HYP mode for virtualization, which had required a signed SPL
update for the ODROID-XU [2]. And to me it looks as if there's no
Arndale Octa support in upstream U-Boot [3], no real maintenance on the
InSignal fork [4] and a policy of not cooperating with others [5].

Thanks,
Andreas
