Now that you have fixed the crash, can you answer the questions I have
asked earlier?

clocks are setup:

cat /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary

cat /sys/kernel/debug/pm_genpd/pm_genpd_summary

If you see:
   1e27000.clock-controller: emac  off-0

then genpd is not working like it is supposed to. You should see something
like this for device that are working:
           1e27000.clock-controller: uart2  on
     /devices/platform/soc at 1c00000/1d0d000.serial        active
