I did some follow-up research into this. The hanging after "cpuidle:
using governor menu" is due to being stuck inside of
check_unaligned_access(). Specifically, there is a check that appears to
be waiting for jiffies to start ticking, but they never do:

while ((now = jiffies) == start_jiffies)
	cpu_relax();

`jiffies` is fixed at 0xfffedb08, effectively making this a while(true)
loop. This happens with and without SUN4I_TIMER.

This hang unfortunately happens before the "Linked as a fwnode consumer"
print statements start.

After bypassing this with the configs

CONFIG_NONPORTABLE=y
CONFIG_RISCV_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=y

A new warning is tripped:

The warning is not fatal, so execution continues until hanging at

[    2.110919] printk: legacy console [ttyS0] disabled
[    2.136911] 2500000.serial: ttyS0 at MMIO 0x2500000 (irq = 205, base_baud = 1500000) is a 16550A�[    2.145674] printk: legacy console [ttyS0] enabled

[    2.155095] printk: legacy bootconsole [sbi0] disabled
[    2.155095] printk: legacy bootconsole [sbi0] disabled

I have not been able to discover why it hangs here.

The clock is somehow relying on the previous behavior of this PLIC
driver.
