Here is your problem, you have 2 choosen nodes:

64k data, 108k bss, 116k init) Mount-cache hash table entries: 512
device-tree: Duplicate name in /, renamed to "chosen#1"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-> Linux didnt find your commandline ...

Hmm... do you have CONFIG_OF_FLAT_TREE and CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT defined?
If so, this would explain, why you have 2 choosen nodes.

Yes I do have both CONFIG_OF_FLAT_TREE and CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT defined. Is
there a document to tell more about these options please?

Yes, read the README in the U-Boot root. CONFIG_OF_FLAT_TREE is deprecated,
you should use CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT.

bye,
Heiko
