Hello. 
I've just tried your changes with both 'bullseye' and 'bookworm' under qemu 
and it they both booted properly (before, bookworm boot too, much more time 
and resulted in some kind of error).

Just a question: How did you send this patch? Because both 'mbox'-es, one 
generated by our patchwork ( https://patchwork.isar-build.org/project/isar/
patch/78c228a7-1a11-119d-8fe9-03f62d47c752@siemens.com/ ) and another I saved 
in the mail client, couldn't be applied. So, I had to apply this changes 
manually, line by line.

Probably, the patch was sent from some client that broke lines?
