There is indeed one kernel worker running at 100% CPU load.

top:

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU  %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND                                                                   
 3196 root      20   0       0      0      0 R  100.0  0.0   2:58.76 kworker/0:8+events                                                        

More analysis shows that it hangs in drm_client_modeset_probe() in the loop

	for (i = 0; i < connector_count; i++)
		total_modes_count += connectors[i]->funcs->fill_modes(connectors[i], width, height);

Most likely not in the loop because that looks sane, but connectors[i]->funcs->fill_modes().

So I have to find out what function connectors[i]->funcs->fill_modes is...

BTW: connector_count = 2.

BR and thanks,
Nikolaus
