This reverts commit c5f4b805755912a3d2fe20f014b6b6ab0473bd73.
Conflicts: arch/arm/mach-socfpga/misc_gen5.c
Without socfpga_sdram_apply_static_cfg(), the system hangs when Linux calls altvipfb2_start_hw() of the Intel Video and Image Processing(VIP) Frame Buffer II driver (drivers/video/fbdev/altvipfb2.c)
There is no such driver in mainline U-Boot or Linux.
It's a simple frame buffer driver from linux-socfpga for the IP core Intel Video and Image Processing(VIP) Frame Buffer II. It actually hangs here when the streaming starts:

I can also hang the system if I setup and start the FB with just a few U-Boot commands. I think the system hangs when the IP core starts reading the FB data from the system memory.
I am CCing Dinh , I recall there was some discussion about hangs on CycloneV and it was fixed recently.
, but only after a power cycle (cold boot). The issue does not show up after a soft reset (warm boot) and with v2018.11.
See the commit message of the patch this is reverting, I believe there is a deeper issue with the static config register. Can you investigate?
I read the commit message, but well, I can't follow all the details :(. On the other hand, it seems also not clear why the fix was added. Any idea what to investigate.
The system was repeatedly rebooted in a loop, the FPGA was loaded before Linux booted. After hundreds of reboots, the system got stuck on setting up the static cfg register. I think there was even another email
I rebooted Linux on my MCVEVP more than 100 times with and without loading the FPGA in U-Boot. The system never hang!
It could very well be bitstream related, wait for Simon to chime in. Do you load the bitstream in U-Boot or in Linux ?
I load it in U-Boot. And I repeated the test more than 1000 times (100 above is a typo)! OK, let's wait for more input.
exchange where the suggestion was to make this apply_static_cfg optional and only use it when the DRAM port is enabled in the quartus design. Maybe that is the way out of this ?
Yep.
