Hi Christophe,

This branch is certainly the right one to test, thanks for the report!
>From looking at the output above, it seems that the kernel no longer
boots at all, and fails to even print any messages. Between the

I've added the involved parties to Cc. We also see the same thing on
kernelci, where many OMAP based systems now fail to boot, with the
problem starting at the same commit:

https://kernelci.org/boot/all/job/mainline/branch/master/kernel/v4.16-rc6-4=
31-gbcfc1f455466/

It's possible that this has already been debugged and a fix is being worked=
 on,
but I'm not aware of anything, since I have not followed my email
while travelling.

I've confirmed that omap2plus_defconfig boots on bbb while
multi_v7_defconfig fails to boot with the following:

Ok managed to do some debugging for this today, and fixed it.

The root cause for this is a config flag overlap, and it was introduced 
as a side effect of the mentioned patch for am33xx. Same issue is 
present for am43xx. The exact bug is that when I introduced the 
set-rate-parent feature, I re-used a generic clock flag but this also 
masked a check whether an IP is ready to be accessed yet or not. The bug 
only impacts the DSS clocks for the mentioned platforms but is enough to 
make it fail boot with multi_v7 config. The problem is not visible in 
omap2plus build, as it has number of debug features enabled, making the 
code execute just that small bit slower and it doesn't need the extra 
check for the IP at all.

I'll post the fix in a separate patch email in a minute.
