Waveshare NVME Hat and Official DSI Panel Overlay Problem

[macromorgan]

There appears to be an issue with the firmware that became noticable with the 6.6 kernel update. Specifically, when I use a combination of the Waveshare NVME hat (https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/PCIe_TO_M.2_HAT+) along with the official Raspberry Pi display, the firmware fails to apply the overlay properly. If I remove the HAT+ detection from the equation by either removing the hat from the board (so the i2c can no longer be read at boot) or I add force_eeprom_read=0 into my config.txt, I am able to boot successfully with all hardware working as expected.

Logs and detailed troubleshooting steps can be seen at this thread here: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/6035

To reproduce this issue: Physically attach the Waveshare NVME hat to a Raspberry Pi 5 running the current 6.6 Linux kernel. Specify dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-7inch in your config.txt. Note that you do not physically need the panel attached, you just need to specify the overlay to load. Observe the output of sudo vclog -m and see that the official overlay could not be applied.
