I have my Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1 booting from an SSD drive.
I have my firmware set to the stable branch but after the recent update to pieeprom-2020-12-11.bin I have been experiencing startup problems.
Specifically, on booting the SSD flashes once, and its blue indicator led turns a faint red.
The drive is then not recognized until it is disconnected and reconnected.
If the raspberry boots from its SD card, the SSD drive is not recognized, until it is reconnected.
A Reinsert during the booting loop, causes the disk to be recognized and to successfully boot from it.
My SSD drive is reported as: ID 125f:a88a A-DATA Technology Co., Ltd.
I have a changed /boot/cmdline.txt file adding:
usb-storage.quirks=125f:a88a:u
Initially, I thought I had developed a USB 3 port problem, or insufficient power supply from my Raspberry power brick.
Booting the same code from a USB Stick works without issue.

Changing the Firmware to the 'critical' version, resolved my problem.
sudo rpi-eeprom-update -d -f /lib/firmware/raspberrypi/bootloader/critical/pieeprom-2020-09-03.bin
Changing it back to pieeprom-2020-12-11.bin reintroduces the issue
