I don't see the clock for the DMA getting turned on at all, which is why
after the kernel has booted, the filesystem tries to open up a serial
port using DMA and the system hangs. The failure is seen here:

http://arm-soc.lixom.net/bootlogs/next/next-20150504/socfpga-arm-multi_v7_defconfig.html

This only happens with the multi_v7_defconfig, because the PL330 DMA is
getting built into the kernel, while the socfpga_defconfig does not
enable the PL330.

The DTS for the socfpga platform looks like this:

pdma: pdma@ffe01000 {
	compatible = "arm,pl330", "arm,primecell";
	reg = <0xffe01000 0x1000>;
	interrupts = <0 104 4>,
		    <0 105 4>,
		...
		#dma-cells = <1>;
		#dma-channels = <8>;
		#dma-requests = <32>;
		clocks = <&l4_main_clk>;
		clock-names = "apb_pclk";
};

Perhaps I have the wrong designation for clock-names and the amba bus is
not able to pick up the correct clock?
