Hmm so setting CONFIG_CPUFREQ_DT=m in arch/arm/configs/omap2plus_defconfig
produces the same output with make omap2plus_defconfig as with =y.. So
CPUFREQ_DT can't be the real cause of the problem.

It's now looking like the l3-noc warning does not get triggered on
every boot.

It also seems the zImage triggering the error does not trigger the
error on every boot. To trigger the error, it seems the device needs to
be powered down for at least 10 or so seconds between the boots.
So far no luck reproducing the error on v3.19.

The easy way to reproduce is to power down omap5 for at least 10 seconds,
make omap2lus_defconfig on v4.0-rc1 and boot it.

And so far it looks like next-20150204 works and next-20150209
failed at once so far. But of course I would not trust anything
at this point :)

Regards,

Tony
