You can't run it directly. mps2-an385 is one of the platforms where
the qemu maintainers insisted that qemu shall not initialize the CPU.
You have to provide a shim such as
https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/blob/master/rootfs/arm/mps2-boot.axf
as bios. You also have to provide the dtb file.

On top of that, you would need a customized version of qemu which
actually reads the command line, the bios file, and the dtb. See
https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/tree/master/qemu
branch v8.2.1-local or v8.1.5-local.

It might be possible to find a bootloader which does all that and
prepares the emulation for running Linux, but I don't know if that
exists somewhere.
