Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] ARM: initialize jump labels before setup_machine_fdt()

This patch is fatal for me in the downstream Raspberry Pi kernel - it locks up 
on boot even before the earlycon output is available. Hacking jump_label_init to 
skip the jump_entry for "crng_is_ready" allows it to boot, but is likely to have 
consequences further down the line.

The stable branch may not be living up to its name, but I don't think this is a 
quick fix.
