I've just tried to boot v6.15-rc1 on a vim3 (A311D). Booted fine.

It is odd the first bad commit is a merge :/

Assuming it is not something in CCF itself, 2 commits for this platform
in the PR mentionned above:

0079e77c08de clk: amlogic: g12a: fix mmc A peripheral clock
8995f8f108c3 clk: amlogic: g12b: fix cluster A parent data

Checking the clock tree, those appears to work as intended, including
the VIM3 platform.

Maybe try reverting one or the other, see if that changes anything.
