Kernel stuck at Starting kernel message on mvebu since Kernel 5.17

Kernel stuck at Starting kernel message on mvebu since Kernel 5.17

[Benjamin Marty]

Hello

Since Kernel 5.17, more precisely commit
251cc826be7dec61e574b291b371362c10dd84ea, the Linux Kernel seems to be
unable to Boot on the mvebu arm platform. After booting it via U-Boot
it is stuck at the Message `Starting kernel`. Reverting the mentioned
commit fixes this, and the Kernel boots again fine.

Any idea if I can try something else?

First, go back to a kernel tree before the above mentioned commit and
make clean to remove the copied files.

Then, move forward to the kernel you want to test, and apply 9189/1
(see patch system below), and try rebuilding.

Thanks.

FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!

Hello

Thanks, can confirm that this patch is the solution to my problem.

v5.17 with the mentioned Patch + v5.18-rc1 which already contains the
patch are both working fine again on the platform.
