After more testing: the changes above result in qemu sx1 boot failures.
There is no crash, boot just hangs.

qemu command line:

qemu-system-arm -M sx1 -kernel arch/arm/boot/zImage -no-reboot \
	-initrd rootfs-armv4.cpio \
	--append "rdinit=/sbin/init console=ttyS0,115200 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0xfffb0000,115200n8" \
	-nographic -monitor null -serial stdio

with configuration from
https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/blob/master/rootfs/arm/qemu_sx1_defconfig
and root file system from
https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/blob/master/rootfs/arm/rootfs-armv4.cpio.gz

This is with your other patch applied.
