Can you test if the patch below[1] helps?  With that, it seems to finish
booting for me (based solely on a ping test.)

The problem is a race between the late_initcall for omap_device (which
idles devices that have no drivers) and the late_initcall in
kernel/printk.c which turns off the earlyconsole.   Any printks
that happen between this omap_device late initcall and the earlyconsole
late initcall will crash when accessing the UART.
