Thanks for testing.

Patch 2/3 was to ensure we have proper clock tree defined for
Exynos5420. While testing with audio disabled, that patch alone fixed
the issue. But when audio was enabled (and hence I2S0 was trying to
access the clocks), we got some kernel oops during late booting, hence
I came up this solution.

The solution might be a little half-baked because of the urgency to
push the fix, but will try to dig more into the issue on Monday when I
resume office.
