I realized that with v2014.10 u-boot is not starting up on
ppc4xx boards with CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD set.
I bisected it down to this:
d54d7eb support blackfin board initialization in generic board_f
With
d29437a ppc: Make ppc4xx ready for CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
I set gd to a defined value for ppc4xx in cpu_init_f().
I did not realize that the gd struct has also to be memset()
to zero at this point.
But at least commit d54d7eb assumes it is:

return 0;
}
#endif
This might also be an issue on other architectures, so maintainers should
check.
