Just did a test with clean builds of v4.15-rc7 with sunxi_defconfig
and U-boot 2018.01-rc3 with Cubieboard_defconfig. It successfully
boots to a prompt. My previous bootloader was U-boot 2017.05 with
some local modifications.

Here is the full boot log: https://wens.tw/cb-boot-log.txt

The boot script is:

setenv bootargs console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8
root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait panic=10 earlycon=uart,mmio32,0x01c28000
consoleblank=0 drm.debug=0x1e
load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${distro_bootpart} ${kernel_addr_r} boot/zImage
load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${distro_bootpart} ${fdt_addr_r} boot/${fdtfile}
bootz ${kernel_addr_r} - ${fdt_addr_r}
