Thank you for the hint with the second dtb. It looks like a problem
with the imx8mm-kontron-n801x-s-u-boot.dtsi file. Since there is an
automatic detection in the board code what dtb to select in my case
the second one is selected. This is the
imx8mm-kontron-n801x-s-lvds.dtb. But for this one *-u-boot.dtsi is not
included. When doing a copy of the "base" -u-boot.dtsi file that
matches to the imx8mm-kontron-n801x-s-lvds.dtb name it works. Still
the question why this worked before. We have to figure out what the
difference is here compared to the version that was developed and
worked on 2021.10.
