Yes, I've done that now by enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_AM33XXUART1 and earlyprintk in the command line. Here's the result, with the commit cherry picked on top of next-20190304: https://lava.collabora.co.uk/scheduler/job/1526326 [ 1.379522] ti-sysc 4804a000.target-module: sysc_flags 00000222 != 00000022 [ 1.396718] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 77bb4003 [ 1.404203] pgd = (ptrval) [ 1.406971] [77bb4003] *pgd=00000000 [ 1.410650] Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] ARM [...] [ 1.672310] [] (clk_hw_create_clk.part.21) from [] (devm_clk_get+0x4c/0x80) [ 1.681232] [] (devm_clk_get) from [] (sysc_probe+0x28c/0xde4) It's always failing at that point in the code.

Looking at the KernelCI results from next-20190215, it looks like only the BeagleBone Black with SMP=n failed to boot: https://kernelci.org/boot/all/job/next/branch/master/kernel/next-20190215/ Of course that's not all the ARM boards that exist out there, but it's a fairly large coverage already. As the kernel panic always seems to originate in ti-sysc.c, there's a chance it's only visible on that platform... I'm doing a KernelCI run now with my test branch to double check that, it'll take a few hours so I'll send an update later if I get anything useful out of it. In the meantime, I'm happy to try out other things with more debug configs turned on or any potential fixes someone might have.
