I have seen the same problem on zc702. I will debug it.
Josh: the best will be if you can send v5 for patches 1-3 (1 with small changes in dts - uart)  which I will apply
to arm-next. 

4/5 should go out of zynq subtree, it means directly to arm-soc or via Russel's tree. 

5/5 + Nick patch should be tested. 

Thanks,
Michal
