MPC8641 based custom board kernel Bug

[Ashish Khetan]

Hi,
I was trying to port Linux-3.12 for MPC8641 based custom designed board for
evaluation purpose. I have been facing a kernel bug at mpic initialization.
Is somebody have faced this kind of bugs or can give me any pointer for
further steps how to solve kernel bugs will be really helpful. here is the
snapshot for the bug that may be helpful to address the bug.
