Also observed on the 11.12 final RC: https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/staging-imx53-11.12-release/#build=7 The gator.ko can't be loaded during the board boots up; and the gatord can't be run during the board boots up either. However, the gator.ko and gatord files are all there, under the path "/system/modules" and "/system/bin", the end user can do these manually. But I don't think the manually work can be accepted in this case.
