I managed to track this down the call dmaengine_terminate_all(), which
then calls into pl330_terminate_all(). So in pl330_terminate_all(), it
call _stop, which hits a infinite loop, UNTIL. But since the
amba_pm_runtime_resume() has not been called yet, the clock is turned
off. Thus, we're stuck in an infinite loop.
I'm not sure what would be right approach to fix this?
Thanks,
Dinh
