I've checked once again on your branch. Yes, it is fully reproducible on
my DragonBoard410c. On your branch I get the above synchronous external
abort, while without your last patch I get Null ptr dereference.
Are you sure you have deployed the kernel modules for doing the test?
This issue happens when udev triggers loading kernel modules for the
detected hardware.
Here is the kernel configuration used for my tests on ARM64 based board:
# make ARCH=arm64 defconfig && ./scripts/config --set-val
CMA_SIZE_MBYTES 96 -e PROVE_LOCKING -e DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP -e PM_DEBUG -e
PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG -d ARCH_SUNXI -d ARCH_ALPINE -d DRM_NOUVEAU -d
ARCH_BCM_IPROC -d ARCH_BERLIN -d ARCH_BRCMSTB -d ARCH_LAYERSCAPE -d
ARCH_LG1K -d ARCH_HISI -d ARCH_MEDIATEK -d ARCH_MVEBU -d ARCH_ROCKCHIP
-d ARCH_SEATTLE -d ARCH_SYNQUACER -d ARCH_RENESAS -d ARCH_STRATIX10 -d
ARCH_TEGRA -d ARCH_SPRD -d ARCH_THUNDER -d ARCH_THUNDER2 -d
ARCH_UNIPHIER -d ARCH_XGENE -d ARCH_ZX -d ARCH_ZYNQMP -d HIBERNATION -d
CLK_SUNXI -e BLK_DEV_RAM --set-val BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT 4 --set-val
BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE 65536 -d CONFIG_EFI -d CONFIG_TEE
Comparing to the arm64's defconfig, I've enabled some debugging options
and disabled some unused boards.
Best regards
