Good guess. U-Boot configured SMC1 with its parameter RAM at offset 0.

I had overlooked that. Resetting the CPM in cpm2_reset() helps. Is there any 
reason not to rset the CPM in cpm2_reset() ?

How should SMC parameter RAM assignment be handled ? I'm not very familiar 
with the CPM1, but for CPM2 the cpm_uart driver could easily cpm_dpalloc() 
parameter RAM.

Thanks for your help.
