This is the line that causes the kernel to hang, if I comment the
list_add_tail() call then the kernel boots.

I checked that neither data nor owner are NULL and that the
owner->clients list_head is initialized. Do you have any ideas what
could be happening?

This is really strange. However the hang is definitely not caused by
adding the controller to the list, but rather the fact that it is later
being initialized, probably in exynos_iommu_attach_device().

Yes, I knew adding to the list was not the issue but a side effect of
being in the list. I'm not familiar with Exynos sysmmu/iommu to figure
out though.

Just a quick question - does bootloader on Exynos5420 Peach Pit sets
any image on the display?

Yes u-boot does initialize the display, I see the boot messages and
have an u-boot prompt.

If so then we will get IOMMU page fault on init (DMA engine of FIMD is
left enabled from bootloader) and such case is not yet handled.
Besides that I have no idea for any other reason for such failure.

I see, that's a reasonable explanation and in fact your patch makes at
least the kernel to start booting.

To check if this is caused by io page fault, please temporarily add the
following hack:

The kernel still hangs but the boot does indeed go further. Here is my
boot log [0] although I couldn't find an evident cause.

Frankly, this freeze looks really strange, because there is no error message
or any other failure indicator.

Thanks for testing the above hack. It confirmed that the previous boot failure was caused by display left enabled in bootloader. Such configuration is not yet supported, although I will do my best so find how to add support for it. For the
time being - please don't enable IOMMU support on Exynos5420 Peach Pit. It
shouldn't be a big issue, because IOMMU support was already non-functional
all the time on Exynos platform.

Best regards
