Hi,

I am trying to boot linux-next 20160229 on a m7solo warp board and
this is what I get:

http://pastebin.com/TmQdqd2B

You can't dequeue the idle thread, thus kernel throw the oops:

bad: scheduling from the idle thread!

The reason is that the code is buggy for using the usleep_range in the clk_pllv3_wait_lock function,

From the stack dump:

Please remove the usleep_range in the function clk_pllv3_wait_lock.

I can boot this board fine using NXP 3.14.52 kernel.

These clock warnings also happen on a mx7d sabresd board, but the
boot proceed fine.

It caused usleep_range(50, 500) in clk_pllv3_wait_lock.
Need aisheng's patch to fix it.

Yes, I know, but they should not prevent the boot from happening.

Any ideas as to what needs to be done in order to boot a MX7S?

Can you try to disable arch_timer in dts?

Just disabled it, but it did not help. Thanks
