This is /all/ from the 3430 LDP.

Compare these two URLs:

http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/build/result.php?type=boot&idx=2891
http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/build/result.php?type=boot&idx=2892

Beware - the second one will be truncated to 1MB of log (but with the
regexp extraction of errors, it's probably going to be more like 2MB.)

Both of those are booting the _exact_ same kernel binary.  The difference
between them is that the first (2891) is booted in legacy mode.  The
second (2892) is booted with omap3-ldp.dtb appended to the zImage and
wrapped in a uImage.

There is only one config file for these two boots, because as I say, it's
the exact same binary booted in legacy mode, then booted in DT mode.

config: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/build/file.php?lid=17226

As you will see from the above link, I have:

CONFIG_REGULATOR_TWL4030=y

but not REGULATOR_PBIAS - because MFD_SYSCON is not set.

Or it could be that the amount of crap being spewed by the battery driver
is messing up the dodgy MMC.

I'm not trying with omap2plus_defconfig as this is supposed to be a
separate build.  Given that - as I say - the /exact/ same kernel binary
works in legacy mode, it suggests that there's some pretty major
differences between what devices are supported in a legacy boot mode
and what devices are supported in DT boot mode.

I do have that option enabled.

I really /can't/ risk letting the platform boot again in DT mode having
just played around with some options - if it spews like it did again
last night, it'll spew for the whole day tomorrow, and I really don't
want the database filling up with another gigabyte of log.

I'll see about tweaking some of those options, but it'll have to be a
manual run sometime next week to test it.
