The boot hangs early on EBH5600 board when octeon_fdt_pip_iface() is trying enumerate a non-existant interface. The actual hang happens in cvmx_helper_interface_get_mode(): mode.u64 = cvmx_read_csr(CVMX_GMXX_INF_MODE(interface)); when interface == 4. We can avoid this situation by first checking that the interface exists in the DTB.
