On am64x-sk (am64x_evm_a53_defconfig) I'm seeing:
=> tftpboot 80200000 EFI/arm64/grubaa64.efi
Using ethernet@8000000port@1 device
TFTP from server 192.168.116.10; our IP address is 192.168.116.23
Filename 'EFI/arm64/grubaa64.efi'.
Load address: 0x80200000
Loading:
... silent hang ...

Which I didn't see with v9. I can test other TI K3 platforms if it would
help.
