Thanks for digging into this!

Reverting just that commit seems doable (one smallish conflict) to test
with greater confidence, though as you say, it could just be revealing
other bugs.
I do not see any debian-specific patches that are likely to be relevent.
If it is annoyingly subtle, it might also be the intersection of
... particular qemu, opensbi and u-boot versions...
Definitely would be good to mention to upstream. Please Cc me if you do!
If you would rather I nudge this upstream, let me know.
