This came up on Trats2 board (Exynos 4412) since next-20141105:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/6/125

Disabling DRM helps.

Thanks a lot for the report, very useful. I haven't yet looked at the
PCI commit itself, but reading the commit log indicates that it plays
with sizing the BARs, and we're doing some fairly funky stuff with this
in pci-mvebu, so I'm not entirely surprised such a commit can break
stuff. I'll have a look tomorrow.

Thanks!

As might have been expected, reverting the change that enables the
DRM/display options in exynos_defconfig fixes the problem.

    ARM: exynos_defconfig: Enable options for display panel support

    Many Exynos devices have a display panel. Most of them just have
    a simple panel while others have more complex configurations that
    requires an embedded DisplayPort (eDP) to LVDS bridges.

    This patch enables the following features to be built in the kernel
    image to support both setups:

    - Direct Rendering Manager (DRM)
    - DRM bridge registration and lookup framework
    - Parade ps8622/ps8625 eDP/LVDS bridge
    - NXP ptn3460 eDP/LVDS bridge
    - Exynos Fully Interactive Mobile Display controller (FIMD)
    - Panel registration and lookup framework
    - Simple panels
    - Backlight & LCD device support

I'm sorry for causing a boot failure but when I first posted that patch,
the Exynos DRM driver was working correctly (at least on the Exynos boards
I've access to) so it seems the regression was introduced while the patch
was posted but not yet picked.

I'm not sure what is the correct step in this case but I'm OK with
reverting the patch until the Exynos DRM driver bug is fixed.

Best regards,
Javier

I found out a bug of Exynos DRM, which is infinite loop issue incurred
by -EPROBE_DEFER. I thought that we resolved this issue with some fixups
but not yet. The problem is because -EPROBE_DEFER is returned in case of
adding a component of a crtc device but one of a connector device. I
will fix it up soon.

Thanks for report,
Inki Dae

Yeah, I tested it at the time as well, so I know it was working.

I didn't have time to dig, but I'd rather someone track down the DRM
problem and fix that, since it was known to be working. I'm guessing
it's something simple that can be fixed before the merge window opens.

OK, so this DRM problem is turning out to be non-trivial, so I think
the defconfig patch should be reverted until the DRM issue is sorted
out.

Otherwise, we risk having boot failures in linux-next which may be
hiding other problems.

Agreed with the config revert, so many issues with Exynos DRM in linux-next :(

Yeah, it could be a best solution at this moment. Let me revert the commit
0ef76aea7a34 ("ARM: exynos_defconfig: Enable options for display panel
support")
from -next in samsung tree.

Maybe now that all the issues with the Exynos DRM driver that were causing
boot failures were found and fixed, we can enable these config options again?

After all, the fact that these symbols got enabled is what made the issues
to be detected in the first place so is useful to find regressions earlier.

Best regards,
Javier
