Would be good to disable &iris here for now similar to
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/qcom/linux.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=c0f045e303e014cec5d883edf82fe5de74769944
(I'm assuming it is broken without specifying the iommus?)

What about GPU? You can load the GPU zap shader in EL2 without further
changes in the drm/msm driver?

What about &remoteproc_gpdsp0 and &remoteproc_gpdsp1?

Please make the changes in a way that they result in a properly
functional boot without errors. Disable functionality that needs
more work before it can be enabled in EL2.

Thanks,
Stephan
