This is the log with the device tree that boots[1]:
https://gist.github.com/misaleh/b09c04480062c5a3e7bafe3d4176b15d

This is the log with replacing hamoa.dtsi with purwa.dtsi inside
hamoa-lenovo-ideacentre-mini-01q8x10.dtsi which does not boot:
https://gist.github.com/misaleh/aaad5704824edac9a43e2ebe45adbf85

With those modifications, I can boot:

The issues were:
- pcie6a and pcie3 conflict in regulator pins
- Different UART

However, there are quite verbose errors from MDSS clocks, and spmi
failures. Here are the booting logs with the above change (at
loglevel=5)

https://gist.github.com/misaleh/3b1d67ac51a8960b811cc20075ab7630

I get cleaner boot logs with MDSS and pmc8380_6 disabled.
