There are a couple of things that should be changed to permit the board to boot:
1) Since the CPU does not recognized the amount of memory, you should limit it by device tree:
memory@40000000 {
device_type = "memory";
reg = <0x40000000 0x40000000>; /* 1 GB */
};
2) You should pass the parameter "clk_ignore_unused", otherwise the board will hang up.

Attached you can find updated kernel .config, that also allow to boot directly from MMC without an initrd.

For debugging, it will be also better to add "earlyprintk=sunxi-uart,0x02500000 earlycon=sbi" parameters to immediately see where the boot process hangs.

For D1-Nezha, I think it will be better to following Fedora instructions, that allow also to build grub:

Thank you, when the board is on hand, the issue of loading will be better studied with a fix for subsequent builds.

1G memory patch for u-boot is already there, also added boot options.
