It's a not-yet-mainlined part (that's why I sent the report to Icenowy and
Andre Przywara -- they work on the DT bindings and the driver itself).

The exact kernel is based on git@xxxxxxxxxx:Icenowy/linux.git
(icenowy/sunxi64-4.11-rc1); I've removed all additional commits that could
possibly be related.  I need at the very least a f2fs fix to boot this
machine (without reformatting).  I did not bother trimming things that are
obviously irrelevant (n_tty, vt, btrfs, sd); lemme retry with 4.11-rc2 that
has just the f2fs fix and "#define DEBUG" in drivers/base/dd.c to be sure.

I've first noticed the warning on pre-4.11 -next; because of very intense
work in these areas Icenowy, Andre and the rest are doing the pine64 parts
are hard to naively rebase -- and thus I haven't run intermediate versions.

While it reproduces 100%, the churn in required commits atop mainline would
make bisecting pretty tricky.  Do you have some other ideas over debugging
the hard way?  (I don't know these parts of the kernel myself thus I
reported first.)


In case my exact .config and tree are relevant:
