If the exynos display controller is still active when Linux starts, then it will result in a kernel panic while FIMD sysmmu driver is getting probed. Calling exynos_fimd_lcd_disable() before jumping into kernel disables the display controller by switching off the windows, hence resolving the kernel panic which arises from sysmmu driver.
Create an Exynos specific definition for the weak function arch_cleanup_before_linux(), and then place the call to exynos_fimd_lcd_disable() inside the overrided definition of arch_cleanup_before_linux().

Why should the fix to this situation be making U-Boot disable the display controller rather than making Linux able to cope with an already active display controller?
Besides, fixing Linux would allow seamless booting displays, without an ugly off-on glitch.
Amicalement,
Albert. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
