I'd ask these people for some patience as I intend to document the
details in the Debian wiki.

For those who are not that patient, here comes the short version:
I compiled v6.8-rc1 with this patch, put the resulting kernel image
(Image) and device tree into /srv/tftp, together with the initrd[1] from
Debian and then typed in U-boot (using the vendor version):

	setenv laptop 192.168.144.173
	setenv bootargs ${bootargs} clk_ignore_unused ignore_loglevel
	i2c dev 0; i2c mw 0x20 0xf4 0x10; i2c mw 0x40 0x00 0xa3; run phy_cmd
	dhcp ${fdt_addr_r} ${laptop}:rk3568-qnap-ts433.dtb
	dhcp ${kernel_addr_r} ${laptop}:Image
	dhcp 0x0b100000 ${laptop}:debian/20240222-02:09/initrd.gz
	booti ${kernel_addr_r} 0x0b100000:$filesize ${fdt_addr_r}

Feel free to ping me on irc if you have further questions.

Best regards
Uwe
