I'll try backporting b1708b72a0959a032cd2eebb77fa9086ea3e0c84 which seems the proper way forward. > For reference, bootlog here: > https://storage.kernelci.org/stable-rc/v4.4.56-31-gbcd1e808ead3/arm-multi_v7_defconfig+CONFIG_LKDTM=y/lab-free-electrons/boot-at91-sama5d2_xplained.html > > > > > Conflicting Boot Failure Detected: (These likely are not failures as other labs are reporting PASS.
