Since a few kernel releases the Pogoplug 4 has crashed like this during boot:

This is because the "powersave" mux clock 0 was provided in an unterminated array, which is required by the loop in the driver:
/* Count, allocate, and register clock muxes */ for (n = 0; desc[n].name;) n++;
Here n will go out of bounds and then call clk_register_mux() on random memory contents after the mux clock.
Fix this by terminating the array with a blank entry.
