Do you have debug_ll support to get some serial logs? Also could you try
booting with maxcpus=1 on the kernel commandline? And it would be useful
to have the output of /proc/timer_list if you have it from a working
device. I believe you have a per-cpu TWD timer and a global imx-gpt? Can
you try this patch? (sorry about the whitespace damage)
