I've just reproduced this, and I'm dissecting what I have. It looks like
something goes wrong when moving from v5,13-rc1 to v5.13-rc2.

Reproduction steps below. Note `usekorg` is my script to run a specific
build of the kernel.org crosstool binaries.

$ git clean -fdx
$ git checkout v5.13-rc1
$ usekorg 10.1.0 make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux- defconfig
$ usekorg 10.1.0 make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux- Image -j50
$ git checkout v5.13-rc2
$ usekorg 10.1.0 make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux- Image -j50

... then when I run the resulting Image in a KVM guest on ThunderX2, I
get a splat at boot:
