Actually, the kernel dies because of this: commit adaac459759db4a1fd35baddbe47bac700095496 Author: Markus Pargmann <mpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Aug 30 09:33:53 2015 +0200 regmap: Introduce max_raw_read/write for regmap_bulk_read/write There are some buses which have a limit on the maximum number of bytes that can be send/received. An example for this is I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK which does not support any reads/writes of more than 32 bytes. The regmap_bulk operations should still be able to utilize the full 32 bytes in this case. Signed-off-by: Markus Pargmann <mpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxx> which never considers bus to be NULL in __regmap_init. With the following patch applied, I can boot to a prompt: From 031eae5a1b34f952ba3dcaecb4eb4ec9d3bda352 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2015 19:16:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] regmap: Fix max_raw_read/write handling when bus is NULL Commit adaac459759d ("regmap: Introduce max_raw_read/write for regmap_bulk_read/write") added new fields to regmap_bus and started using them in __regmap_init, but failed to consider the case where bus would be NULL, like in the vexpress-syscgf case. The box (actually its qemu version) ends up dying painfully. Fix it by testing bus before doing anything else. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@xxxxxxx>
Yes, that fixes the vexpress failures. Tested-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> However, I still need to revert your patches to get my realview-pb-a8 and realview-eb tests to work again. I am a bit concerned about the use of of_address_to_resource(), which can return an error, leaving cpu_res undefined. Also, if both CONFIG_OF and CONFIG_ACPI are not configured, supports_deactivate is set to true by default. This is the configuration used in my failing tests. With that in mind, I ran a simple test. -static struct static_key supports_deactivate = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; +static struct static_key supports_deactivate = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE; Bingo, problem solved. Can you try to find a clean solution ? I wonder how it comes that you get a console output from qemu, but I don't. Did you use multi_v7_defconfig or some other configuration ?
