I also had a problem where Linux would hang or panic after rebooting, with
mainline u-boot and ATF on a rockpro64. This patch does fix the issue for me,
I have tested it by performing 10 reboots from Linux in a row and I've seen
no hangs or panics.

I noticed the Armbian project have recently included a patch to ATF [1] which
switches all power domains on before ATF performs a soft reset. I have also
tested using u-boot mainline, without any patches to u-boot, but including ATF
patched with your reset fix [2] and the Armbian power domains patch [1]. This
also fixes the same hanging on reboot issue for me without modifications to
u-boot, I've also tested 10 reboots in a row with this ATF and seen no hangs.

So this u-boot patch may not be needed if ATF is patched instead to switch
power domains on before soft reset.

FWIW, when I was able to see panic messages from Linux when it panicked on
boot, the call trace always seemed to include rockchip_pd_power_off() [3].
