Michael,

Thank you for your patch. I was able to compile the kernel but 
unfortunately it doesn't boot.

Do you have another hint or patch for me?

Thanks in advance,

Christian

Shall I modify the workaround? Is the workaround for lack of the device
tree the problem?
I don't think so.

You could try this patch to try and isolate it:
