This concerns me a bit because fast models are extremely lenient w.r.t.
the management of clocks and regulators. Are you sure you have
everything you need for your UART described?

Which version of boot-wrapper-aarch64 are you using?

Upstream does not implement PSCI 0.2, but its --enable-psci option will
inject PSCI 0.1 compatible properties, which leads me to suspect that
your DT is misleading. The boot wrapper should also program CNTFRQ_EL0
correctly regardless.

What do you intend to use on real hardware?

Thanks,
Mark.
