Can you test below patch? Thanks,
Ralf
Since af3a1f6f4813907e143f87030cde67a9971db533 the Malta code does no
longer probe for presence of GCMP if CMP is not configured. This means
that the variable gcmp_present well be left at its default value of -1
which normally is meant to indicate that GCMP has not yet been mmapped.
This non-zero value is now interpreted as GCMP being present resulting
in a write attempt to a GCMP register resulting in a crash.
