I have verified with 6.1.0-rc1 system does not boot as you was pointed out here.
After adding your patches the system boots and got an Oops because

With this two minor changes and your patches the system properly boots
and behaves properly.
So FWIW feel free to add my:
Tested-by: Sergio Paracuellos <sergio.paracuellos@xxxxxxxxx>
Acked-by: Sergio Paracuellos <sergio.paracuellos@xxxxxxxxx>
Please, let me know if you want me to send any patches or if you are
going to create a complete patchset with all the needed changes.
Thank you very much for doing this!
Best regards,
