Initially it looked like it was hanging after entering the passphrase but after much debugging I realized it was just taking a ridiculous amount of time (like 30 seconds) doing bcrypt hashing, which turned out to be because u-boot was running with CPU caches disabled on the RK3128, so I fixed that.

So even if you aren't using crypto softraid, if you update u-boot you'll get a faster boot since efiboot will load a little faster and that will load and start the kernel boot faster.

Does this speedup also apply to the RK3588 u-boot? And if so, is it in snapshots already?
