Reboot command fails to reboot NanoPi R76S on OpenWRT 25.12.4

From a UART console (or ssh or luci) sending a reboot command fails to actually reboot the device. Instead it just sits for a minute or two before returning the CLI prompt again.

Repeating /sbin/reboot no change.

I can trigger an instant reboot with

echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger

Might be something in the OpenWRT UBoot versus the FriendlyWRT UBoot?
