Dear Christophe,

my MPC5200-based system stopped booting recently. I bisected the 
problem
to your commit below. If I revert that commit (on top of
807249d3ada1ff28a47c4054ca4edd479421b671 = v4.2-6663-g807249d), my
system boots again.
Do you use mainline code only, or do you have home-made code ?
I use mainline only sources with non-mainline device-tree.

memcpy() is not supposed to be used on non-cacheable memory.
memcpy_toio() is the function to use when copying to non-cacheble area.

When I submitted the patch, I looked for erroneous use of memcpy() and
memset().
I found one wrong use of memset() that I changed to memset_io() but I
didn't find any misuse of memcpy().
But I may have missed one.
I attach my .config, if it helps. I have there

CONFIG_PPC_MPC52xx=y
CONFIG_PPC_MPC5200_SIMPLE=y

so arch/powerpc/platforms/52xx is probably the directory to look. Do you
see any mempcy misuse there?
I only found one suspect use of memcpy() in arch/powerpc/platforms/52xx/
It is in mpc52xx_pm.c but it's linked to CONFIG_PM which is not 
selected by your .config
I'll check in the drivers selected by your .config

In parallele, are you able to try with CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG in order 
to try and locate the blocking point ?
I don't get any output from the system even with CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG.
