ARM SBBR (Server Base Boot Requirements) defines SPCR (Serial Port
Console Redirection Table) as a mandatory ACPI table that specifies
the configuration of a serial console.
In the linux kernel, ARM developers have decided that consoles defined
by SPCR are always enabled when existing, see e.g.:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-serial/20200430161438.17640-1-alpernebiyasak@gmail.com/T/
Specifying console=ttyAMA0 (which is a serial console) is thus
redundant for an ARM SBSA board. (It also blindly assumes that
the serial console is on ttyAMA0, which might not be true.)
Drop the explicit console=ttyAMA0 on the kernel command line,
such that the kernel can pick up the default console defined
by SPCR.
This is similar to how it is currently done for
board/aarch64-efi/grub.cfg.

Specifying /dev/sda2 is ambigious, and when booting my arm64 machine
this tries to mount the second partition of my ATA drive, instead of
the second partition of the USB-stick, simply because the ATA driver
is probed earlier than the USB controller driver.
To solve this problem, use PARTLABEL=root to specify the root filesystem.
This is similar to how it is currently done for board/aarch64-efi/grub.cfg
and board/qemu/aarch64-ebbr/grub.cfg.

This introduces a configuration for the SBSA reference machine under
QEMU that is intended for developing and testing firmware. It consists
of ATF that load EDK2 as BL33 which in turn will load GRUB2.
Included with the board files is a minimal kernel configuration, almost
identical to that of board/qemu/aarch64-virt/linux.config. The main
difference is the addition of ACPI which is preferred over DTB for
booting an UEFI system.
