Commit f225d39d3093 ("vexpress: Check TC2 firmware support before defaulting to nonsec booting") added support to check if the firmware on TC2 is configured appropriately before booting in nonsec/hyp mode.
However when booting in non-secure/hyp mode, CCI control must be done in secure firmware and can't be done in non-secure/hyp mode. In order to ensure that, this patch disables the cci slave port inteface so that it is not accessed at all.

This works for me (unsurprisingly) when booting in secure mode. What kernel and firmware config do I need to use for non-sec mode? I tried vexpress_defconfig, with bits 12 and 13 cleared in SCC: 0x700 but I get nothing out the console after "Starting kernel ..."
I just flipped bit 12 and 13 in SCC: 0x700 to switch between MCPM/secure and HYP/non-secure mode. All other images/settings remain the same.
So IIUC, with vexpress_defconfig + above SCC change you are seeing a hand, I will check that. I am using multi_v7_defconfig.
