The Xilinx problems appears to be due to the following two commits.
1156dd2483fd serial: uartps: Wait for tx_empty in console setup 9a13572bf02b serial: uartps: Add a timeout to the tx empty wait
I didn't try all tests, but reverting those two patches fixes the problem at least for arm64:xlnx-zcu102.
I don't see this problem in any other stable releases.
