git 2.34 has a bug where combining --filter=blob:none and --sparse in a single git clone fails to create .git/info/ before attempting to initialize sparse-checkout, resulting in: fatal: could not open '.git/info/sparse-checkout' for writing: No such file or directory Fix by dropping --sparse from the clone invocation and running git sparse-checkout init as a separate step after the clone completes, at which point .git/info/ exists.

The EFI stub rejects the kernel with: EFI stub: ERROR: FIRMWARE BUG: kernel image not aligned on 64k boundary This happens because the kernel is built with CONFIG_ARM64_4K_PAGES which only guarantees 4K alignment, but the EFI stub requires the kernel to be placed on a 64K boundary. Switch to CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES so the kernel image alignment satisfies the EFI stub requirement. Signed-off-by: Bibek Kumar Patro <bibek.patro@oss.qualcomm.com>
The kernel's QCOM SCM driver calls __get_convention() unconditionally at early boot to probe the SMC calling convention. It issues SMC 0x72000602 (SVC_INFO / IS_CALL_AVAIL) which OP-TEE does not handle, causing an 'Unknown SMC' error and leaving the kernel hung waiting for a response that never comes. Disable CONFIG_QCOM_SCM since this lemans build targets OP-TEE, not QSEE/TZ, and there is no qcom,scm firmware node in the device tree. Signed-off-by: Bibek Kumar Patro <bibek.patro@oss.qualcomm.com>

Fix by dropping --sparse from the clone invocation and running git sparse-checkout init as a separate step after the clone completes, at which point .git/info/ exists.
