Does it work if you boot with maxcpus=1 or nosmp in the kernel command line?

Also, please try if the appended patch makes any difference.

No, it does not help.

I tried it, and the console shows "Requesting system reboot" and stays
there forever. No more messages after that and the system does not
reboot.

So what about if you comment out the cpufreq_suspend() line in
device_shutdown() (after applying the patch)?

Then it reboots fine :-) Thanks

But that probably means that irq_work_sync() doesn't work on your system.

Can you please try to boot and change the cpufreq governor to
performance and back and see if that works?

Is this an SMP board, actually?

No, it isn't (checked the report again).

Silly question maybe: Is CONFIG_IRQ_WORK set in your .config?

Well, the kernel wouldn't have built for you without it, so it must be set.

I cannot change to governor with 9be4fd2c7723a305.

After running 'cat performance >
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor'
the system hangs silently.

Reverting 9be4fd2c7723a305 allows me to change to performace.

> Is this an SMP board, actually?

Yes, this is a single core CortexA7.

So this means that irq_work doesn't really work on your system at all.
It looks like queuing up an irq_work sort of works (because the
IRQ_WORK_BUSY), but then the queue is never processed.

What exactly do you mean by reverting here?  It surely cannot be
reverted by itself and there are many things that depend on it.

Hmm.  Single core means non-SMP rather?

I wanted to say "because the IRQ_WORK_BUSY flag is set", sorry.

Yes, it cannot be reverted cleanly on 4.6.

If I do 'git checkout 9be4fd2c7723a30' and then 'git revert
9be4fd2c7723a30' then the reboot command works.

CONFIG_SMP can be set or not in the kernel config. With CONFIG_SMP=n
the issue does not happen.
