Just a short update after upgrading to mainline kernel 5.10.4 in Debian unstable and U-Boot 2020.10. My boot now hangs after the dtbs have been detected (tried booting from sdcard):
The same issue is present with the pinebookpro, so I assume the 5.10 kernel in Debian has some issue here.
Edit: Issue seems to be specific for the rk3399 as the smaller rock64 boots fine with the same kernel.
Update: For the current kernel to work you have to compile u-boot with "PREBOOT=y" disabled as mentioned by toons. Then it will probably boot - at least the pinebook pro does. See here for details:

Update 2: Confirmed. The rockpro64 boots up fine with the change in u-boot and is usable. I tried only booting from eMMC as I keep having issues with the sdcard in the official Debian kernels.
