This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled clk: meson: g12a: mark fclk_div2 as critical to the 5.8-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: clk-meson-g12a-mark-fclk_div2-as-critical.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b8581a433d62cc804507c9ec43df0d220f7fd342 Author: Stefan Agner <stefan@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Aug 28 17:52:05 2020 +0200 clk: meson: g12a: mark fclk_div2 as critical [ Upstream commit 2c4e80e06790cb49ad2603855d30c5aac2209c47 ] On Amlogic Meson G12b platform, similar to fclk_div3, the fclk_div2 seems to be necessary for the system to operate correctly as well. Typically, the clock also gets chosen by the eMMC peripheral. This probably masked the problem so far. However, when booting from a SD card the clock seems to get disabled which leads to a system freeze. Let's mark this clock as critical, fixing boot from SD card on G12b platforms.
