Hi, i have been running linux on rk3399 booted with kexec fine until 5.2
From 5.2 onwards, there are memory corruption issues as reported here:
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1906.2/07211.html
kexec has been identified as the principal reason for the issues.

It turns out that kexec has never worked reliably on this platform, ...

Thank you all for your suggestions on where the issue could be.

It seems that it was the USB driver.
Now using v5.2.8 booted with kexec from v5.2.8 with a workaround and
so far so good. It is being tested on the Sapphire board.

The workaround is:

If this patch is OK after review i can resubmit it as a pull request.

not a pull request, just send a patch using git send-email

Should a similar change be applied to drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c ?

Is it necessary? We haven't had any bug reports regarding that. Also, if
we have reset control support in the core driver, why do we need it in
of_simple? Seems like of_simple could just rely on what core does.

the workaround has been tested patching only core.c with

and leaving dwc3-of-simple.c as is, the issue persisted.
