IOMMU needs a fixup, that has been merged today:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230123093102.12392-1-m.szyprowski@samsung.com/

I was initially convinced that this freeze is somehow related to this 
IOMMU fixup, but it turned out that the devfreq is a source of the problems.

The freeze happens here about 1 of 10 boots, usually with kernel 
compiled from multi_v7_defconfig, while loading the PPMU modules. It 
happens on your next/dt branch too.
