I have noticed that there appears to be a regression between v3.17 and
v3.18-rc1 such that non-multiplatform APE6EVM (ape6evm_defconfig) no longer
boots. This appears to be the case using both reference DT (MACH_APE6EVM)

It seems that the boot stops here:

...
smsc911x smsc911x eth0: MAC Address: 00:08:f7:00:02:4b
rcar_thermal rcar_thermal: Runtime PM disabled, clock forced on.
rcar_thermal rcar_thermal: 3 sensor probed
sh_mobile_sdhi sh_mobile_sdhi.0: Runtime PM disabled, clock forced on.
sh_mobile_sdhi sh_mobile_sdhi.0: No vqmmc regulator found

I re-ran my bisection and this time the following showed up as the culprit.

I suspect that the initialisation of mmcif, which is usually the next
device to be initialised, sleeps and never wakes up because the timer is
disabled.

clocksource: arm_arch_timer: Discard unavailable timers correctly

Apparently reported and fixed by Laurent and a few others, cfr.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg371615.html

I have temporarily cherry-picked the following, which is no present in
linux-next, into the devel branch of the renesas tree. It appears to
resolve the problem I reported.

b0ad5917960ca80f96bae ("ARM/ARM64: arch-timer: fix arch_timer_probed logic")

Yes, that is the right one.

This patch is now upstream and will be in -rc3.

Thanks
