This adds support for the tryboot mode on Raspberry Pis. As there is no documentation other than the downstream implementation [0] the implementation is based on this. I tested this on Raspberry Pi 5 and therefore I only added the properties to this devicetree. But afaik this should work on all Raspberry Pis. I will add it to the correspondings dts if I get some hardware to test it.
