The following commit makes the Tegra APB DMA engine fail to initialize
correctly:

ARM: tegra: Move tegra_common_init to tegra_init_early
...
I tried moving the call to tegra_dma_init back to each of the very end
of tegra_init_irq and the very beginning of tegra_harmony_init. Both
of these resulted in a kernel that wouldn't boot.

I don't know why it still fails if you put it back at the beginning of
the machine init, and it boots without errors on my board if I move
tegra_dma_init to a postcore_initcall, but I don't have any drivers on
my board that use DMA.

It looks like the fail-to-boot symptom was an operator error or
incremental build problem. I retested everything with a from-scratch
build and moving tegra_dma_int to be a postcore_initcall solves the issue
for me; I've posted a patch to do that.
