FWIW, I don't see anything missing either.

I was using vendor kernel when I was working on
implementing/validating initial support of that and it worked alright.
However, that has been over 5 month ago, so it is entirely possible
that newer version of various components might have become
problematic.

It is probably not a problem in your case, but do keep in mind, that
i.MX8MQ mask ROM code uses SD2 as a "backup" boot option, so if it
doesn't find anything bootable on the selected (via pins or fuses)
medium it will revert to that. If that happens, HDMI firmware present
on SD card will _not_ be loaded into HDMI IP block. I've been bitten
by this when I was working with a board that I forgot was configured
to boot from eMMC and was booting from SD card by coincidence.

Thanks,
