Thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately the clock patches don't help. I
tried with 5.7-rc4 and your patches on top and the issue still persists.

Also I found out that changing the order of the clock initialization as
proposed, does not fix the problem, either. On some boards it helps,
others still hang when the clocks are initialized.

Thanks,
Frieder
