The gd->malloc_ptr and the gd->malloc_limit are offsets to gd->malloc_base.
But the addr variable contains the absolute address. The new_ptr must be:
addr + bytes - gd->malloc_base.

Just bisected down git master not booting on my RK3288 board anymore,
turned out to be this patch. Reverting it on master makes for a much
happier board...

I'll dig a bit deeper what's going on here now.
