Hello again,
I am facing the exact same symptoms as last September:
…meaning my (headless) Raspberry Pi 3 B and Raspberry Pi 3 B+ no longer boot with Linux 5.16.3, while the (headless) Raspberry Pi 4 still boots.
This issue is not fixed with the latest Linux 5.16.4 either.
If needed, I can git-bisect it, but perhaps you have a hunch already?
With 5.16.2 (working), I see the following serial console output:
[ 2.493456] fb0: switching to vc4 from simple
[ 2.500306] Console: switching to colour dummy device 80x25

With 5.16.3 (broken), I see:

[ 2.492167] Console: switching to colour dummy device 80x25

Thanks in advance
