Hi David, Sekhar,

I tried booting the board today over tftp but didn't succeed. I then
switched to a normal boot from SD card and the boot process froze at
the same moment (right after the DHCP config, or after rtc config if I
disabled DHCP in bootargs). I then realized that the emac clock can't
be the culprit. After some digging I found out that the late_initcall
to clk_disable_unused() disables sysclk6 - the parent of the arm
clock, which of course freezes the device.

If I remove the call to clk_disable_unused(), I can boot just fine.

The following other clocks are disabled before pll0_sysclk6:
pll1_sysclk3
pll0_obsclk
pll0_sysclk7

davinci_lpsc_clk_enable() is never called for these clocks - in fact
it's not called for any parent that's not explicitly defined in
psc-da850.c - I believe this may be one of the reasons. I will get
back to debugging it tomorrow.

Best regards,
Bartosz Golaszewski
