Why Stefan's patch works (checking irqs_disabled()) is because during kernel
time init, the irq is still not enabled. It fixes the issue indirectly.
See:
asmlinkage __visible void __init start_kernel(void)
{
/*
* Set up the scheduler prior starting any interrupts (such as the
* timer interrupt). Full topology setup happens at smp_init()
* time - but meanwhile we still have a functioning scheduler.
*/
sched_init();
.............
time_init();
..............
WARN(!irqs_disabled(), "Interrupts were enabled early\n");
early_boot_irqs_disabled = false;
local_irq_enable();
}

The issue can only happen when PLL enable causes a schedule during
imx_clock_init().
Not all PLL has this issue.
The issue happens on MX7D pll_audio_main_clk/pll_video_main_clk
which requires more delay time and cause usleep.
Because clk framework does not support MX7D clock types (operation requires
parents on), we simply enable all clocks in imx7d_clocks_init().

If apply my this patch series:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/20/199
The issue can also be gone.
