This patch causes my Wandboard Quad [1] not to boot anymore. I don't get
any kernel output, even with earlycon enabled
(earlycon=ec_imx6q,0x02020000). git bisect pointed towards your patch;
reverting the patch causes the system to boot fine again. Config is
available at [2]; none of the defconfigs I tried (defconfig =
multi_v7_defconfig, imx_v6_v7_defconfig) works for me.
Haven't looked into this any further so far; hooking up a JTAG adapter
requires some hardware changes as the JTAG header is unpopulated.
