I'm convinced that TF-A is not functional on your mainline config. No,
TF-A will execute on any reset that triggers SPL, as SPL loads TF-A
and jumps to it as part of the FIT load.

This is what my rockpro64 looks like with TF-A executing. Note I've
enabled a bit of extra TF-A debugging, normally it just prints out the
TF-A version number. TF-A reports itself as BL31.

I'm currently pulling the rk3399-rock-pi-4b.dts that's in mainline
linux to build a quick image for you, if you're interested.
