I mis-stated this.  Actually my tree is based on the v3.17-rc1 branch
of the exynos-reference tree[1] + the above mentioned patches for
cpuidle and cpufreq.

Also, I've narrowed down the instability a bit, and it's not related
to CPUidle.  I can now trigger a boot hang even without CPUidle
enabled.  Here's a quick way to cause a boot lockup. With the switcher
disabled, I enable CPUfreq and set the default governor to
performance.  As soon as cpufreq driver loads, it tries to use the top
frequences for both clusters, and it hangs.

Selectively disabling frequencies, I narrowed it down to the 1.3GHz
and 1.2GHz frequencies of the little cluster.  With these commented
out in the DT, it will fully boot with the performance governor
enabled.

So that leads to the question.  Are all of the operating points in
exynos5420.dtsi valid for exynos5800, and have they been validated?
