Thanks.  Sounds like the first one should go in for v4.0-rc fixes, and the 
second one can wait for v4.1?  

If so then could you repost the first fix to include the description of 
why it should go in early in the patch description ("the DT nodes are 
already present, and when enabled without the hwmod data triggers a l3_noc 
interrupt and hangs the kernel boot").  That should avoid anyone 
questioning why it would go in as a v4.0-rc fix at this point, and should 
help the -stable crew out.
