My beaglebone black (rev c) based test environment fails to boot with
v5.15-rc1. Boot succeeds with the v5.14.

Bisecting the Linus' tree pointed out the commit:
[1c7ba565e70365763ea780666a3eee679344b962] ARM: dts: am335x-baltos:
switch to new cpsw switch drv

I don't see this exact commit touching the BBB device-tree. In Linus'
tree it is a part of a merge commit. Reverting the whole merge on top of
the v5.15-rc1

This reverts commit 81b6a285737700c2e04ef0893617b80481b6b4b7, reversing
changes made to f73979109bc11a0ed26b6deeb403fb5d05676ffc.

makes my beaglebone black to boot again.

Yesterday I tried adding this patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-omap/20210915065032.45013-1-tony@xxxxxxxxxxx/T/#u
pointed by Tom on top of the v5.15-rc1 - no avail. I also did #define
DEBUG at ti-sys.c as was suggested by Tom - but I don't see any more output.

Correction, that was me, not Tom :)

Oh.. Sorry! I don't know where I picked Tom from... My bad!

For me, adding any kind of delay fixed the issue. Also adding some printk
statements fixed it for me.

Any suggestions what to check next?

Maybe try the attached patch? If it helps, just try with the with the
ti,sysc-delay-us = <2> added as few modules need that after enable.

It's also possible there is an issue with some other device that is now
getting enabled other than pruss. The last XXX printk output should show
the last device being probed.

Looks like you need to also enable CONFIG_SERIAL_EARLYCON=y, and pass
console=ttyS0,115200 debug earlycon in the kernel command line.

Ah. Thanks again. I indeed lacked the "debug earlycon" parameters. Now
we're more likely to see what went wrong :) I pasted the serial log form
failing boot with v5.15-rc1 which has both the patch you linked me above
and the patch you suggested me to test in previous email.

This one cpsw

[    2.830347] ti-sysc 4a326000.target-module: XXX sysc_probe

This one pruss and it still shows sysc_probe

Not sure what are the dependency here :( if any.

Additional option to try - cmdline param "initcall_debug" and maybe increase print level in really_probe_debug()


Just to be clear - idea is to see *all* probes - not only sysc.
