Can you attempt to change the TF-A target from sun50i_h6 to sun50i_h6_no_pmic?

This at least seems to have been the fix accepted into the Debian packaging for the Orange Pi One Plus.

I have one around somewhere, I could hook it up and do some more investigation if that doesn't help you.

(PS: We should probably update the U-Boot documentation if that suggestion does work.)
