OK thanks for your suggestions. sdm845-perf_defconfig did not work for
me. The target did not boot.
However, disabling CONFIG_PANIC_ON_SCHED_BUG works, and I got a root
shell at least.
This at least proves that there is no issue in core ipipe patches, and
I can proceed.

But this seems to be a work around.
I still get a back trace in kernel logs from many different places.
So, it looks like there is some code in qualcomm specific drivers that
is calling a sleeping method from invalid context.
How to find that...
If this fix is already available in latest version, please let me know.

Thanks,
Pintu
