For the past couple of days -next has been failing to boot on various
Tegra platforms, there are failures involving either no kernel output or
(with tegra_defconfig) backtraces during CMA allocation from USB, for
example:

I did bisects yesterday but they were a bit inconclusive, showing a
series of skipped commits in the TTY tree as being the culprits:

afd7f88f157796e586fc99d62da13a54024e0731 serial: 8250: move of_serial code to 8250 directory
4e33870b3bb691996354a8f9e8f69458b4fc34d9 serial: of: CONFIG_SERIAL_8250 is always set
d1b5c87fa8058a3f477ae05555916dd1cea934ad serial: remove NWP serial support

which seems more than a little surprising and like they might be false
positives, especially in the cases that do produce output.  The errors
today look the same.  I've not investigated further than the bisects.
