I don't have the same board to test and don't experience this boot issue 
with the am62 board I'm using (the board version I have is a custom 
board not released publicly by TI unfortunately).

Notice that: 
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230511122100.2225417-1-jneanne@baylibre.com/

Is not yet applied and would help handle shutdown/reboot under some 
conditions.

This might help for reboot handling if you are forcing a shutdown/reboot 
in your test.

But if the problem is your device tries to shutdown at each boot, then 
this is just a side effect, not the original root cause.
