Ok, it appears that there is no mem= entry in the command line... Hence there is no early
memory which can be allocated and

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.1.28/source/mm/memblock.c#L295

fails to set the end (which is 0 by default) to a reasonable value.

This is consistent with that our 6.15 kernel and the sudomaker 6.1 kernel show the same
failure.

So we have to find the fix in our U-Boot and not the kernel. And it is likely something
very simple...

BR,
Nikolaus
