Turning IRQs off is done by accessing Ethernet controller registers.
That can't be done until device's clock is enabled. It results in a SoC
hang otherwise.
This bug remained unnoticed for years as most bootloaders keep all
Ethernet interfaces turned on. It seems to only affect a niche SoC
family BCM47189. It has two Ethernet controllers but CFE bootloader uses
only the first one.

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.
