Kevin,

As per my understanding from the kernelci.org logs it seen that
pwm-meson driver is requested more than once before it finally load the module.

Hi Martin,

I have tired your Martin's patch [1] and still the boot fails to move
ahead with below logs.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1034186/

I have put some more prints in pwm-meson.c it fails to load the module
as microsSD card is not completely initialized.

Here is what I have tried to enable sd_emmc_b node, but still it fails
to initialize this driver..

-       max-frequency = <50000000>;
+       sd-uhs-sdr12;
+       sd-uhs-sdr25;

+       sd-uhs-ddr50;
+       max-frequency = <100000000>;
        disable-wp;

Below are the boot logs.

sd_emmc_b probe function return success but still not able to progress further.
