Are you using the vendor OpenSBI? IIRC, and the lads can probably
correct me here, you need to have an OpenSBI that contains
https://github.com/riscv-software-src/opensbi/commit/78c2b19218bd62653b9fb31623a42ced45f38ea6
which the vendor supplied OpenSBI does not have.

A bootloader stage would ideally patch the DT that the kernel ends up
getting. If you're loading your own dtb, you can do it easily in U-Boot
after you extract it from your FIT image or whatever. I have no idea
what the vendor U-Boot does.

Thanks,
Conor.
