This doesn't make a lot of sense. "remote-endpoint" shouldn't be
related to anything to do with psci cpuidle. I'm guessing something
else is failing much earlier in boot that's indirectly causing this
somehow? Can you please take a look at what's failing earlier and let
us know? Or see what driver probe is failing up to this point but used
to work in the good case.

Also, where is the dts file that corresponds to this board in upstream? Is it
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3588-rock-5b.dts

Ok, once you find the patch that fixes things, let me know too.
