There is one other problem with the boot loader config at the moment
in addition to the mkinitrd patch you need to patch the kiwi generated
boot.script:

  setenv bootcmd ...

is missing the following at end of line:

  ... bootm 0x80000000 0x81600000"

after that recreate the boot.scr

  mkimage -A arm -O linux \
    -a 0 -e 0 -T script -C none \
    -n 'Boot-Script' -d /boot/boot.script /boot/boot.scr

and then call mkinitrd

now rebooting works. I already fixed kiwi and mailed the mkinitrd
patch to the maintainer

Hope that helps

Regards,
Marcus
