It appears that the crash is occurring when the tegra-devfreq driver is
loaded and I have been able to narrow it down to the pllm pll that is
causing the problem. If I remove the bypass flag for pllm then I no
longer see the problem (see below). However, the bypass bit is valid for
this pll and so I need to see if there is another bug lurking in the
management of this pll. The pllm has an additional override feature and
I see another enable bit. I need to check this code.

Cheers
Jon
