Hi Anson,

Applying Abel's patch:

commit 8816c47db6a82f55bb4d64f62fd9dd3af680f0e4 (HEAD -> master)
Author: Abel Vesa <abel.vesa@nxp.com>
Date:   Tue Jun 25 12:01:56 2019 +0300

    clk: imx8mq: Mark AHB clock as critical

    Keep the AHB clock always on since there is no driver to control it and
    all the other clocks that use it as parent rely on it being always enabled.


The kernel boots up again.

It make some sense. I don't understand though why having
IMX8MQ_CLK_TMU_ROOT as critical also "unhangs" the kernel.

thanks,
Daniel.
