FWIW the PL180 on my Juno still works fine with this patch picked on top 
of -rc3, so the issue would seem to be something else - From a quick 
comparison between the DTs I see a slight difference in compatible 
strings for the clocks, but the more likely-looking suspect is that the 
VExpress DT references some GPIOs where the Juno DT doesn't.
