One quick observation:
This issue is seen only when we enable dm-verity in our bootloader and
cross-building the bootloader/kernel (with Yocto 2.6 toolchain
arm-oe-linux-gnueabi-) on Ubuntu 18.04.
The issue is *NOT* seen (on the same device) when building the
dm-verity enabled kernel on Ubuntu 16.04.

Is it something to do with the cross-toolchain difference between
Ubuntu 16 and 18 ?


Thanks,
Pintu
