This series was only tested (and works fine) with LittleKernel based
bootloader [1]. It's officially recommended and the only feature
complete bootloader at the moment. And you are right, the reason why
TRNG probe fails when you boot the kernel from U-Boot is that the LDFW
(Loadable Firmware) loading is not implemented in U-Boot right now,
which makes HWRNG_INIT SMC command fail and return -1. In fact, I'm
adding LDFW loading in U-Boot right now and expect it to be ready in 1
week or so. For now, can you please check with LK [1] instead? I'm
happy to help if you have any related questions.

Good idea! Will send v3 soon, with proper error message added.
Thanks!
