Thanks Karsten for reporting the issue.

Bisection points to Simon's patch:

a56f663f0707371
vbe: Add info about the VBE device to the fwupd node

In bootmeth_vbe_simple_ft_fixup() probing device vbe_simple fails
because all fwupd related properties are missing in the QEMU device-tree.

The following change is enough to make QEMU boot again:

CONFIG_BOOTMETH_VBE=n

@Simon:

CONFIG_BOOTMETH_VBE should default to 'no' as only the sandbox provides
the required data in the devicetree. Or bootmeth_vbe_simple_ft_fixup()
should ignore a failure to probe vbe_simple.

Best regards

Heinrich
