Kevin/Tony, This patch series addresses the OMAP4430 boot up crash issues on the latest 2.6.31-rc6 kernel release.
On the latest mainline as well as linux-omap master (2.6.31-rc6), OMAP4 boot is crashing. This has broken after "[PATCH 00/14] OMAP PM fixes for .31-rc series" series got merged in. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg14527.html Two issues - 1. NULL pointer dereference in omap_serial_init()- static struct omap_uart_state omap_uart[OMAP_MAX_NR_PORTS], has three instances populated and for OMAP4 macro OMAP_MAX_NR_PORTS=4. So at the fourth iteration, there is NULL pointer oops. This was also related to the merge issue in the linux-next branch. http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/8/20/192 [PATCH 1/2] ARM: OMAP4: Fix NULL pointer dereference crash. 2. Console is not working because the uart platform data is not getting registered to kernel. Registration fails because of clock check failure in omap_serial_init(). As you aware the clock framework is still under review on mailing list. Hence below patch is necessary to fix the same. [PATCH 2/2] ARM: OMAP4: Bypass the clock check. Please review the same. Thanks!!
