Sometimes my system yum updates to the 3.15.10-201.fc20.armv7hl kernel which works fine.
Created attachment 947732 [details] boot log of 3.16 kernel
Created attachment 947733 [details] boot log of 3.11 kernel For comparison, a boot log from the working 3.11 kernel (up to where systemd takes over)
It's fixed in the 3.17 kernel with: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/kernel.git/tree/arm-highbank-l2-reverts.patch
