This patch fixes the kernel panic, yes. Hopefully it'll be in -rc6.

That didn't change anything.

Yes, with [1] applied I don't get a kernel panic but the kernel fails
to boot later on with an Imprecise external abort. Removing the mdma
nodes from the dts gets rid of that. I guess what's missing is what
you said: clocks for the mdma devices.
