I realised that for the board which fails after this change is made, it
has the IOMMU enabled. The other board does not at the moment (although
work is in progress to enable). If I add 'iommu.passthrough=1' to
cmdline for the failing board, then it works again. So in my case, the
problem is linked to the IOMMU being enabled.

Does you platform enable the IOMMU?

Thanks
Jon
