I checked your am33xx-only build config for v3.10-rc6 here:
http://www.pwsan.com/omap/testlogs/test_v3.10-rc6/20130616211951/build/am33xx_only/am33xx_only
I can see that you are disabling config MACH_OMAP_GENERIC
"# CONFIG_MACH_OMAP_GENERIC is not set"
If this is not selected you cannot boot with dt.
I copied your config and selected "CONFIG_MACH_OMAP_GENERIC"
then it boots fine.

Thanks and regards,
Lokesh
