The hardware support isn't fully upstream in released versions as yet
so it's not expected to work. The firmware is upstream in
linux-firmware 20240220 and later, the kernel support is due to land
in 6.10 and the mesa support is under review. We should be able to
support it all later in the summer, so probably officially in F-41.

Nope, if the support was upstream it would "just work"

Write it to the SPI flash or eMMC, the SoC only supports SPL (the very
very early part of the boot process) on SPI flash, eMMC or mSD. The
docs explain how to do that on the various devices :)
