It appears that this oneliner gets the kernel booting again: diff --git a/drivers/soc/qcom/qcom_gsbi.c b/drivers/soc/qcom/qcom_gsbi.c index 447458e696a9..1759a3c9140a 100644 --- a/drivers/soc/qcom/qcom_gsbi.c +++ b/drivers/soc/qcom/qcom_gsbi.c @@ -57,7 +57,7 @@ static int gsbi_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) /* make sure the gsbi control write is not reordered */ wmb(); - clk_disable_unprepare(hclk); + //clk_disable_unprepare(hclk); return of_platform_populate(pdev->dev.of_node, NULL, NULL, &pdev->dev); } The kernel hangs during disable/unprepare of the hclk for the GSBI. Turning off hclk's could be dangerous if there are vital system components using the hclk which does not yet have a reference taken in the kernel, due to missing drivers or similar. Any ideas?
