We are seeing "imprecise external abort (0x1406)" errors during boot (which then cause the whole board to hang) on Meson8 (but not Meson8m2). These are observed while trying to access the GPU's registers when the MALI clock is running at it's default setting of 24MHz. The 3.10 vendor kernel uses 318.75MHz as "default" GPU frequency. Using that makes the "imprecise external aborts" go away. Add the assigned-clocks and assigned-clock-rates properties to also bump the MALI clock to 318.75MHz before accessing any of it's registers.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
