I have made great strides with help from this mailing list and its

working u-boot 1.1.2. I now seem to be stuck at the kernel entry point.
I'm not sure if I'm trying to jump into the kernel at the wrong address,
or if I have a serial console issue that prevents me from seeing anymore
progress.

Most likely the latter, or some other issue that prevents the kernel from
booting to the point where the serial console functions.

Finalizing device tree... flat tree at 0x7423a0

 

------

 

If I run 'nm' on my elf image, I expect to find some entry point address
that corresponds to 0x7423a0, but this is not the case. 

Why would you expect that?  It's a dynamically allocated chunk of memory
that holds the device tree that is passed to the kernel.  It's not an entry
point; the entry point to the kernel is zero.
