The arndale-octa board was giving "imprecise external aborts" during
boot-up with MCPM enabled. CCI enablement of the boot cluster was found
to be the cause of these aborts (possibly because the secure f/w was not
allowing it). Hence, disable CCI for the arndale-octa board.

I tested these 2 patches on Arndale Octa but there are no improvements.
I still got imprecise aborts (some not fatal and sometimes killing init
with full backtrace).

Thanks for testing. Are you testing this with exynos_defconfig with no
other changes ? Can you please confirm from the bootlog that MCPM and
CCI are not being initialized.

That was exynos_defconfig with disabled DRM and enabled some debug,
next-20141128.

When I tried only exynos_defconfig (with disabled DRM) it worked fine...
So the imprecise aborts were caused by one of following debug options:

DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH
DYNAMIC_DEBUG
DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP
DEBUG_PREEMPT
PROVE_LOCKING
LOCKUP_DETECTOR
DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
PROVE_RCU
DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES
DEBUG_MUTEXES
DEBUG_SPINLOCK
DEBUG_LIST
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
SPARSE_RCU_POINTER
DEBUG_FS
PM_DEBUG
PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG
GPIO_SYSFS                                                                                                               

Can you remove these 2 patches and on linux-next check if you are
getting aborts even with 5420_MCPM disabled.

I tried this already and imprecise aborts shown, however with my
debugging options above.

Overall the patches seems to work properly (although the debugging issue
needs to be resolved still), so:

On Arndale Octa (Exynos 5420):
