On TOD/TB errors timebase register stops/freezes until HMI error recovery gets TOD/TB back into running state. On successful recovery, TB starts running again and udelay() that relies on TB value continues to function properly. But in case when HMI fails to recover from TOD/TB errors, the TB register stay freezed. With TB not running the __delay() function keeps looping and never return. If __delay() is called while in panic path then system hangs and never reboots after panic.

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.
