Latest U-boot need a chosen node in your DTS  file, So u need to add a
chosen node in your DTS file.

Take mpc8272ads for example: in its DTS, has the following:

        chosen {
                name = "chosen";
                linux,platform = <0>;
                interrupt-controller = <&Cpm_pic>;
        };


BRs,
