The crashing platform also boots with u-boot. What is the difference?
No HDMI support?

It looks more subtle than that, as it also depends on which DT is
provided
(an early meson_dw_hdmi_init() works with the kernel DT, and breaks with
the
u-boot DT). So whatever difference is between the two DTs causes havoc.
u-boot obviously only uses its own DT, so we are looking at a kernel bug
here.

Not having this patch also breaks module reinsertion (HDMI clocks are
disabled
on unbind), so *something* has to be done late.

So here are my questions:
- What breaks in my config when I boot using u-boot's DT?
- How to detect early that the registers are clocked or not?

Thanks,

M.
