Hi Tony,

I'm running a beaglebone black and doing some dev on the
next-next/master line. I noticed a lot of messages coming by during
boot, and more recently a change that shouldn't have made a difference
seems to stop me from booting.

The commit in question is commit: ec7aa25fa483 ("ARM: dts: Use clock-output-names for am3")
Prior to this commit, the boot seems fine. After this commit, I get
several warnings.

For these tests I'm booting a stock am335x-boneblack.dtb. My .config
file, and a good and bad boot log are attached.

This seems to be related to my current boot halt:

I definitely don't understand how a subtle change to an MFD driver could
change how it could halt the boot this early... And it also only happens
when I have a chip powered on and plugged into SPI 0...

I haven't looked too deeply into this yet, just a simple bisect that I
figured I'd report. Let me know if you have any questions.
