the issue could be the wrong console= argument on the kernel command
line. In the current socfpga_config5.h I see

  #define CONFIG_BOOTARGS         "console=ttyS0" __stringify(CONFIG_BAUDRATE)

A comma is missing after "console=ttyS0"

It should be

  #define CONFIG_BOOTARGS         "console=ttyS0," __stringify(CONFIG_BAUDRATE)

Could you please test it? Thanks.

Best regards,

Anatolij
