[RESEND PATCH v3 0/3] rpi: Convert to standard boot

Hi Simon,

So with more testing of 2023.10 in Fedora we found a regression where
the display dies when the vc4 module loads in the kernel. With further
debug it was found that it was due to the new U-Boot and with
bisecting it myself I have found this series is the cause of the
regression.

The testing I have done is with recent RPi firmware, U-Boot 2023.10
and kernel 6.5.x, but also seen with 6.4.x, with a minimal text only
image. I can also reproduce it by using the F-38 GA image, no updates
and purely just changing the U-Boot component. I've done my testing on
the RPi4.

Let me know if you need more information, I believe you have a RPi you
can test with.

Regards,
Peter
