It is definitely mentioned in

  http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-kernel/page/Mainline-Status/#wikititle_34

Unfortunately it freezes before the serial ports are configured so I don't
see any messages to help narrow it down.

I think it is some problem with interrupts from the PMIC causing problems.
That should be fairly easy to confirm once I try, but I've been distracted by
other interesting things like getting CPUIDLE to work and reduce idle power
usage.
