This is most likely because of a bug in the device path logic in u-boot
versions between 2017.09 and 2017.11.

That means Linux booted. It's a matter of fiddling with DT and kernel

Does your device tree contain a /chosen node with an stdout-path
property? In that case, passing "earlycon" on the kernel command line
might already be enough.
