I have tried and initially it did boot and work once.
But after the second boot/reboot the effect was back.
This is something I have observed previously, that the issue
is there in ca. 9 or 10 boot attempts. So I would assume
some race condition with udev reading the uevent file of the
bq27xxx bus client and hence through hdq.
I already had noticed some hqd_read activity right after probing
success.
I had also tried to change pm_runtime_set_autosuspend_delay(, 1000)
with no success. And I tried to call omap_hdq_runtime_resume() at the
end of probe.
The only maybe important observation was when I disabled all
kernel modules except *hdq*.ko and *bq27*.ko. Then I did only
get an emergency shell so that it is quite similar to the
scenario Andreas has tested. With this setup it did work.
I then tried to reenable other kernel modules but the result
wasn't convincing that it gives a reliable result.
So I have still no clear indication when the problem occurs and
when not.
BR and thanks,
Nikolaus
