Hi Tomasz,

Some time ago you asked for some details of Exynos5420 Maudio domain
behavior. Here it goes:

1. mau domain ON, EPL: OFF: boot hang (this was behavior after adding
runtime PM to pl330 driver)

2. maud domain OFF, EPLL OFF: boot hang

3. maud domain ON, EPLL ON: works (current linux-next and mainline)

4. maud domain OFF, EPLL ON: works, almost the same energy consumption
as in (3) (diff: 0.1% so it is smaller than measuring accuracy).

However an unspecified imprecise abort shows up in (4):
[   11.911628] Freeing unused kernel memory: 328K (c0674000 - c06c6000)
[   12.122695] usb 5-1.4: new high-speed USB device number 3 using exynos-ehci
[   12.190011] Unhandled fault: imprecise external abort (0x1406) at 0x00000000
[   12.219062] usb 5-1.4: New USB device found, idVendor=0b95, idProduct=772a
[   12.224548] usb 5-1.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3

[   12.235681] usb 5-1.4: Manufacturer: ASIX Elec. Corp.

[   12.248835] asix 5-1.4:1.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): invalid hw address, using random
root@(none):/#

Best regards,
Krzysztof
