It is a pointer to 0x30.

For some reason my platform can handle a couple of oops, but if I get
a fair amount of them in a short period of time, the whole thing
crashes and debugging gets complicated. (no access to dmesg or remote
debugging).

Therefore this particular bug gave me a bad time. Now that we have
located the root of the problem and solved the problem from the root,
this particular error will never be hit. I just wanted to save
somebody else's time with this patch.

All that said, if the other patches are applied, my platform works
completely fine. So it is completely your call to accept this or not
:)

I will resend the patchset without this patch

Thanks!
