Subject: ARM: OMAP: clocks: Delay clk inits atleast until slab is initialized

From: Rajendra Nayak <rnayak@xxxxxx>

commit ff931c821bab6713a52b768b0cd7ee7e90713b36 upstream.

clk inits on OMAP happen quite early, even before slab is available.
The dependency comes from the fact that the timer init code starts to
use clocks and hwmod and we need clocks to be initialized by then.

There are various problems doing clk inits this early, one is,
not being able to do dynamic clk registrations and hence the
dependency on clk-private.h. The other is, inability to debug
early kernel crashes without enabling DEBUG_LL and earlyprintk.

Doing early clk init also exposed another instance of a kernel
panic due to a BUG() when CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is enabled.

[    0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!

It was a know issue, that slab allocations would fail when common
clock core tries to cache parent pointers for mux clocks on OMAP,
and hence a patch 'clk: Allow late cache allocation for clk->parents,
commit 7975059d' was added to work this problem around.
A BUG() within kmalloc() with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB enabled was completely
overlooked causing this regression.

More details on the issue reported can be found here,
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-omap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg85932.html

With all these issues around clk inits happening way too early, it
makes sense to at least move them to a point where dynamic memory
allocations are possible. So move them to a point just before the
timer code starts using clocks and hwmod.

This should at least pave way for clk inits on OMAP moving to dynamic
clock registrations instead of using the static macros defined in
clk-private.h.

The issue with kernel panic while CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is enabled
was reported by Piotr Haber and Tony Lindgren and this patch
fixes the reported issue as well.
