I think I'm having a similar problem with an 8xx based board.

I am calling cpm_reset() and cpm1_set_pin().
<snip nmx_setup.c>
...
static struct cpm_pin nmx_pins[] = {
    /* SMC1 */
    {CPM_PORTB, 24, CPM_PIN_INPUT}, /* RX */
    {CPM_PORTB, 25, CPM_PIN_INPUT | CPM_PIN_SECONDARY}, /* TX */
};

static void __init init_ioports(void)
{
    int i;

    for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(nmx_pins); i++) {
        struct cpm_pin *pin = &nmx_pins[i];
        cpm1_set_pin(pin->port, pin->pin, pin->flags);
    }

    cpm1_clk_setup(CPM_CLK_SMC1, CPM_BRG1, CPM_CLK_RTX);

}

static void __init nmx_setup_arch(void)
{
    cpm_reset();
    init_ioports();

I have a cpm dts entry copied from the mpc866ads.dts. I've also added 
the compatible = "simple-bus".

I have CPM console SMC1 enabled
<snip .config>
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_CPM=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_CPM_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_CPM_SMC1=y
 <snip>

And my serial console output is stopping around the same point as 
Matvejchikov. I have baud 9600, so I'm guessing that it's cutoff because 
of this (please excuse me if this is wrong). NB: the console=ttyS0 
bootarg is there to get a working console when I  boot back to 2.4.

I've had the same behaviour with gcc 4.0.1 and gcc 4.3.0. Also with 
CONFIG_SERIAL_CPM_SCC1=y defined and not. Also with the smc2 dts entry 
removed and not. Also with ',9600' on the console=CPM0 bootarg and not.

Please excuse me for jumping in late. I hope this can help track down 
the problem.
