Kernel panic or hang for Linaro Linux kernel 3.15 on arndale exynos5250

Kernel panic or hang for Linaro Linux kernel 3.15 on arndale exynos5250

[Li Wang]

Hi,
   I am running lubuntu 14.04 with the latest Linaro kernel 
(git.linaro.org/kernel/linux-linaro-tracking)
on arndale,  I found once X is started ('xinit' is enough) , any one of 
the following operations will
very easily cause kernel panic or hang,
(1) Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Alt+F7 switch between graphic mode and text mode;
(2) 'xinit' to start graphic mode, then 'exit' to quit graphic mode;
(3) After login into Lunbuntu desktop, switch user account to login;

The kernel is compiled by using the 'exynos_defconfig' and 
'exynos5250-arndale.dts'.
Sometimes the kernel hang without any response, sometimes the kernel
panic with messages below,
