Problem booting Kernel 4.8-rc1 on Sam460ex ( Canyonlands) machine .

This is what I get with the bisect.

Hi Julian

I have no Sam460ex machine, could you show the good and bad kernel
bootlog?

I have no experience about PowerPC, the status shows below,
version                 boot
v4.7                    ok
v4.8-rc1                fail
v4.7 + this patch       fail(right?)

Does PowerPC support earlyprintk/earlycon? Please set it, and let's show
somethings from earlyprintk.

Not getting any output with earlyprintk so not sure if it works or if my
settings are incorrect .

This should work: earlycon=uart8250,mmio,ef600300,115200n8

Adding "initcall_debug debug" would also be useful here.

I tried to revert the commit but the result is the same so I suspect that
this one may not really be the problem .
Looks like the real problem may be something affecting the the device tree
loading .

That's strange. If it is this commit, the init order changes as it
changed from device to arch initcall. I haven't seen any other
platforms having problems.
