I must revoke my tested-by tag for the above fix alone. Although it 
fixed the boot issue and system stability issue, it looks that there is 
still something missing and opening the panfrost dri device causes a 
system crash:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

It looks that the panfrost interrupts must be somehow synchronized with 
turning power off, what has been already discussed. Let me know if you 
want me to test any patch.
