Could you show me the output of "cat /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary"

Also, during this week-end, Christian suggested that the issue might
come from the AVS support.

Could you disable it and check you still have the issue?

For this, you just have to remove the avs node in
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-37xx.dtsi and rebuild the dtb.

Thanks,

Gregory
