Ah, so close enough to not matter much.

As far as I know it's being worked on by others, I have some ideas for
this as well but I've been focused on rk356x lately.

The rk3399 TPL code is specific to the rk3399 and it really hasn't
been touched much recently. I'm using the latest Mainline U-Boot on
both my Rockpro64 and Pinephone-Pro. I don't see TF-A being loaded,
which should happen between:

Trying to boot from BOOTROM
Returning to boot ROM...

Otherwise it just looks like the TPL code doesn't like being in a
single channel configuration. Does the 2GB model just forgo the second
ram chip? Or is this actually a 4GB model and it isn't detecting the
second chip in both downstream and mainline? Could you include the
TPL/SPL portion of downstream's output?

This platform does not work at all without TF-A. Optee is optional.
Either you are using the downstream blob from Rockchip or Mainline
built yourself. Personally I prefer using Mainline everything. If you
build Mainline U-Boot without TF-A it will throw a warning at the end
that says the created binary is non-functional.

If you've powered down a minor power domain while a driver was still
active, sure.

Not a problem!
