Hi Conor,

When I tried to rebase these patches on v6.3-rc1, I found the kernel
would crash on the VisionFive 2 board during startup. The logs are as
below. I checkout the branch to the mainline and found that the kernel
would also crash on the VisionFive board which is equipped with JH7100
SoC.

I used 'git bisect' and found out the commit 9493e6f3ce02 is the
cause. I tried to revert this commit on the tag v6.3-rc1, but it
seems there is no improvement.

Any options I am missing? Could you please give me some suggestions
to adapt to the new changes between 6.2 and 6.3? Thank you in
advance.

Best regards,
Hal
