I was asking because I recall an ugly hack in some ATF code to power up
the chip correctly. Did you patch ATF, and maybe call functions of it
at runtime?

According to the datasheet, there is also T3, I realise now. The
diagram talks about "System Clock", but both Teres and Pinebook have a
passive resonator circuit there. Correct me if I'm wrong, but without
chip power, there is little to resonate. What if that driving clock
circuit is powered by Vdd25? Maybe the earlier provision of 2V5 is
enough for Teres' Q4, but Pinebook X4 takes even longer? The start-up
times can be in the range of milliseconds.
