utopic kernel oops during booting on Samsung exynos5440

[Ming Lei]

I found the utopic kernel can't boot on Samsung exynos5440, finally figured out at least the following three patches are needed:

1) ARM: SAMSUNG: fix the CPU_ID for EXYNOS5440
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ppisati/ubuntu-utopic.git;a=commit;h=37d0388baf4026917ee67176e735d9ac2215cb3b

2) [PATCH] ARM: EXYNOS: fix booting oops on exynos5440
http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=142060141812695&w=2

The upstream has little activity about maintaining exynos5440 now, and looks there isn't any progress about merging these patches, so hope utopic kernel can ship these patches and make exyno5440 supported.

Thanks,

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-utopic' to 'verification-done-utopic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
