I was able to reproduce it easily with multi_v7. Then I commented out
dmc bus which fixed the issue. Then I commented out acp and c2c buses
(children/passive) which also fixed the issue. Then I uncommented
everything and went back to next/dt - exactly the same as it was failing
- and since then I cannot reproduce it. I triple checked, but now my
multi_v7 on U3 on next/dt boots perfectly fine. Every time.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
