Hi Linus,

My PB1176 platform appears to lock up as soon as it hits userspace when
running a 3.1-rc1 kernel. If I revert the commit:

f022e4e4 ("ARM: 6986/1: mach-realview: add TCM support for PB1176")

Then things start working again.

My dmesg contains:

But then later hangs at:

[    6.581778] VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) on device 0:12.


Any thoughts on how to debug this? The NULL addresses in the dmesg look
strange to me, but I'm not familiar with the TCMs.

Cheers,

Will
