Actually, the kernel dies because of this:

      regmap: Introduce max_raw_read/write for regmap_bulk_read/write

      There are some buses which have a limit on the maximum number of
      bytes that can be send/received. An example for this is
      I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK which does not support any reads/writes of
      more than 32 bytes. The regmap_bulk operations should still be able
      to utilize the full 32 bytes in this case.

which never considers bus to be NULL in __regmap_init. With the
following patch applied, I can boot to a prompt:

Subject: [PATCH] regmap: Fix max_raw_read/write handling when bus is NULL

Commit adaac459759d ("regmap: Introduce max_raw_read/write
for regmap_bulk_read/write") added new fields to regmap_bus
and started using them in __regmap_init, but failed to
consider the case where bus would be NULL, like in the
vexpress-syscgf case. The box (actually its qemu version)
ends up dying painfully.

Fix it by testing bus before doing anything else.

Yes, that fixes the vexpress failures.

However, I still need to revert your patches to get my realview-pb-a8
and realview-eb tests to work again.

I am a bit concerned about the use of of_address_to_resource(),
which can return an error, leaving cpu_res undefined. Also, if
both CONFIG_OF and CONFIG_ACPI are not configured, supports_deactivate
is set to true by default. This is the configuration used in my
failing tests.

With that in mind, I ran a simple test.

-static struct static_key supports_deactivate = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;
+static struct static_key supports_deactivate = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;

Bingo, problem solved. Can you try to find a clean solution ?

Yeah, I just came to the same conclusion, and to the following patch:

Subject: [PATCH] irqchip/gic: Fix EOImode settiing non-DT/ACPI systems

Non-DT/ACPI systems call directly into the GIC driver at init time.
Since 0b996fd35957 ("irqchip/GIC: Convert to EOImode == 1"), this
breaks old non firmware-driven platforms, as the driver only
works out the capability of the platform on the DT/ACPI paths.

Fix this thinko by forcing EOImode==0 on non-DT platforms,
which are not capable of supporting a hypervisor anyway.

Yep, that fixes the problem.
