If DEBUG_LL and earlyprintk are enabled, and omap-serial.c is compiled as a module, the kernel boot hangs early as the clocks for serial port are cut while earlyprintk still uses the port. The problem is a race between the late_initcall for omap_device (which idles devices that have no drivers) and the late_initcall in kernel/printk.c which turns off the earlyconsole. Any printks that happen between this omap_device late initcall and the earlyconsole late initcall will crash when accessing the UART. The fix is to ensure the omap_device initcall happens after the earlyconsole initcall.
