So Fedora doesn't include a SPI version of it because neither of the
Rock Pi 4 devices, rock-pi-4-rk3399 and rock-pi-4c-rk3399, have
support for SPI in upstream U-Boot even with upstream master ATM. I
have neither of those devices so I can't test any patches I could do
to be able to send that support upstream.

It could be because something had changed in the firmware and the
kernel isn't powering up a regulator that is needed by PCI or similar
that was previously powered up by firmware.

So you get output from U-Boot before you get a grub menu? If so what
version string does the Armbian firmware return?

I may have found something, but I'm still bisecting some pieces down.
