I had hoped that the patch by Eric:
"clk: bcm2835: Fix setting of PLL divider clock rates"
would fix the issue, but that was unfortunately not the case.
Some more investigation using the debugfs patch I had posted,
which exposes the registers showed that:
plld_per_a2w had a value of 4 before starting getty
and a value of 0 after starting getty.
That made me investigate why this value was changed and I found
the culprit in the form of:

+ cprman_write(cprman, data->a2w_reg,

}
after that (with plld itself marked as “prepared” during probe) everything is
working fine.
bcm2835_pll_off shows a similar pattern, but patching that
the same way:

does not resolve the issue - the system crashes - but without he pll

So disabling PLL itself seems not to be recommended

Note that this this needed on top of the patch to bcm2835_pll_divider_off,
which is applied in the kernel used during reporting...
