Could not queue DRM page flip! (Permission denied)
Could not queue DRM page flip! (Permission denied)

The psplash-drm userland splash screen is running and is then the DRM master, avoiding other DRM applications to access to DRM/KMS. Stop this psplash-drm application with the command below before running your use case:

 psplash-drm-quit

Note: You may need to enter "export QT_QPA_EGLFS_ALWAYS_SET_MODE=1" before running your Qt application. For further information, refer to the Qt documentation.

 echo 32 > /sys/class/backlight/5a000000.dsi.0/brightness
sh: write error: No such device or address

On this board, the panel backlight is related to a MIPI^® DSI panel. This backlight can be modified only if the panel is already powered on. That is probably not the case here.
The panel must restart before modifying its backlight. To do so, start any display-related application. For further information, refer to DRM KMS overview and Wayland Weston overview articles.

This trace indicates that the TZC internal peripheral is detecting a "permission violation" made by the master whose AXI ID is 0x403. It corresponds to the LTDC internal peripheral (LTDC NSAID=0b0011. For further information, refer to the STM32 reference manuals).
Some Linux^® Kernel DRM/KMS module drivers are probably missing in the system. As there is probably a display splashscreen in U-Boot, the LTDC display internal peripheral is clocked and is running. When the user initiates the power sequence, as there is no DRM/KMS driver in the system, the display-related clocks are not switched off. The LTDC then continues to make erratic illegal accesses to the memory, that are catched by the TZC internal peripheral. OP-TEE/TZC detects this abnormal behavior and then stops the system and logs this trace.
To fix this issue, please update your Linux^® Kernel configuration with all the missing drivers.
