Hi, here is the crash report on db845c running vanilla v6.4-rc6 with a
debian build https://bugs.linaro.org/attachment.cgi?id=1142

And fwiw here is the db845c crash log with AOSP running vanilla
v6.4-rc6 https://bugs.linaro.org/attachment.cgi?id=1141

Regards,
Amit Pundir

PS: rootfs in this bug report doesn't matter much because I'm loading
all the kernel modules from a ramdisk and in the case of a crash the
UFS doesn't probe anyway.
