Yes, with [1] applied I don't get a kernel panic but the kernel fails
to boot later on with an Imprecise external abort.  Removing the mdma
nodes from the dts gets rid of that.  I guess what's missing is what
you said: clocks for the mdma devices.

Is removing mdm0 node enough to fix the boot failure, or both have to be
removed ?

Actually, you it's only mdma1.  Just removing the mdma1 node from the
dt fixes the imprecise external abort.


MDMA1 can support both secure and non-secure AXI transactions, the
actual behaviour is controlled by trustzone software. It may be the
case that MDMA1 is configured to be used in secure mode only, hence
accessing it in non-secure mode is causing the oops.

Right now, the only solution looks like disabling this node in
Arndale-Octa dts file.

If it works, I will submit this patch.

On Exynos 4 SoCs there were two instances of MDMA1, one secure and one non-secure. Isn't it the case for Exynos5420 as well? If yes, the common DTSI could be changed to always use the non-secure one.
