Could be because of the following patch which last changed the

firmware: speed up request_firmware()

I will try reverting this patch and check if that helps.
The above mentioned patch seems to be the culprit. If i back out that
patch, the machine boots fine.

David let me know if i can provide any information to debug this
issue.

Thanks
