My U3 with and without this patch, reports several warnings:
iommu_group_do_set_platform_dma()
exynos_iommu_domain_free()
clk_core_enable()

and finally:
rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:

and keeps stalling.

At least on next-20230203. Except all these (which anyway make board
unbootable) look fine around PMU and exynos-bus.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
