I am seeing a boot regression on tegra124-jetson-tk1 and reverting the
above commit is fixing the problem. This also appears to impact
linux-4.14.y, 4.19.y and 5.4.y.

Test results for stable-v4.9:
8 builds: 8 pass, 0 fail
18 boots: 16 pass, 2 fail
18 tests: 18 pass, 0 fail

Linux version: 4.9.316-rc1-gbe4ec3e3faa1
Boards tested: tegra124-jetson-tk1, tegra20-ventana,
tegra210-p2371-2180, tegra30-cardhu-a04

Boot failures: tegra124-jetson-tk1

Thanks
Jon
