Some potentially useful steps:

Use the network console mode of the Debian installer, which will likely
let you SSH in from another device so that you can check logs etc. All
of the Debian installer wiki pages are outdated so I'm not sure if
these are correct/useful, but it should be possible somehow.

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/NetworkConsole
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Remote
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/arm64/

Download the Debian Linux kernel image binary package and check if it
has the build config options for SC8180X enabled in /boot/config-*. 

If not, try to rebuild it with that enabled and boot that.

https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/

Contact the folks who worked on mainline Linux kernel support for
SC8180X and ask for help figuring out where/if the support for SC8180XP
landed and how to debug the issue.

I see a lot for SC8180X in mainline Linux, but no device tree curiously
and nothing for SC8180XP either.
