Yes, I have had it enabled the whole time.

As noted in another email, it appears that U-Boot puts the FDT in such a
place that Linux overwrites it with the BSS. The CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y
option expands the BSS by a large amount, which causes the error. It
isn't directly lockdep related.

I don't know if this is a U-Boot problem or a Linux problem. I have no
idea how to fix the bug.

Thanks,
