Good Evening,

That's definitely not stock v5.15.35, it's been tagged as an android kernel.
5.15.35-android13-5-00092-g525d77310a20

The rk3399 SoC has a hardware bug where the power domains are not
reset upon a soft reset. This leads to situations like this one where
power domains are shut down during shutdown but aren't restored on
reboot. Mainline TF-A was patched to force all power domains online
when a soft reboot is triggered, which solved that issue. What
particular issues are you having initializing modern u-boot on this
device? Is there a particular reason it isn't using Mainline TF-A?

I've also run into issues on rk356x where the regulator powering a
power domain isn't powered due to a soft reset, which also causes
faults like this. Set your main regulators to always-on and see if it
helps with the issue.

Very Respectfully,
Peter Geis
