Right, AMDA is handled by pl330 driver which gets registered during
device_initcall. But the clk_get for 'abp_clk' for devices on an AMBA
bus gets called during amba_device_add() which gets called during
arch_initcall. So if clk-exynos-audss driver is registered later, ADMA
node doesn't get added to amba device list and hence doesn't get probed.

Right, I was missing those calls in clk-exynos-audss driver. Adding
pm_runtime_get_sync(), the kernel crash is gone. But the issue regarding
ADMA node not getting probed still persists.

I had that in internal patch while testing.

Having tried all these options, I still feel removing mau_pd node from
device tree is the only option.
