3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 5dc2eb7da1e387e31ce54f54af580c6a6f512ca6 upstream. The i.MX35 has two bits per clock gate which are decoded as follows: 0b00 -> clock off 0b01 -> clock is on in run mode, off in wait/doze 0b10 -> clock is on in run/wait mode, off in doze 0b11 -> clock is always on The reset value for the MAX clock is 0b10. The MAX clock is needed by the SoC, yet unused in the Kernel, so the common clock framework will disable it during late init time. It will only disable clocks though which it detects as being turned on. This detection is made depending on the lower bit of the gate. If the reset value has been altered by the bootloader to 0b11 the clock framework will detect the clock as turned on, yet unused, hence it will turn it off and the system locks up. This patch turns the MAX clock on unconditionally making the Kernel independent of the bootloader.
