Hm, I wonder if there's some broken error handling here somewhere, as a
failure to power up a domain shouldn't lead to a hang.

However, that doesn't explain why the PGC isn't completing the request.
Can you try to extend the timeout some more. Even though I think that
1msec should already be generous. Can you dump the content of the
GPC_PU_PGC_SW_PUP_REQ and GPC_A53_PU_PGC_PUP_STATUSn (all 3 of them)
registers, when the failure condition is hit?
