Hey Nicolas,
Testing the db845c with linus/master, I found a regression causing
system hangs in early boot:

<hangs indefinitely here>

I bisected the issue down to this patch (1a8e1cef7603 upstream - the
previous patch a573cdd7973d works though I need to apply the
arm64_dma_phys_limit bit from this one as the previous patch doesn't
build on its own).

In the above log:
[ 0.000000] Built 1 zonelists, mobility grouping on. Total pages: -188245
looks the most suspect, and going back to the working a573cdd7973d +
build fix I see:
[ 0.000000] Built 1 zonelists, mobility grouping on. Total pages: 957419

Do you have any suggestions for what might be going wrong?

thanks
-john
