I tried to recreate the boot lockup issue using the same steps you
listed above for the Exynos5800 peach-pi platform (Chromebook2), but I
do not see any issues. I can see both clusters with max clock speed
after boot (1.8GHz and 1.3GHz).

I am using v3.17-rc2 + CPUFreq Patches + max77802 regulator support
patches for Chromebook2 + temp hack to set A15 voltage to 1.35V and A7
voltage to 1.3V.

Sorry for the delaying in following up.

Thanks,
Thomas.
