I doubt it is directly related to locking.
If (as you say) there is no crash in the logs then I suspect it is
related to an infinite loop within the initialization code.

And this all seems very familiar. Google for a thread titled
"cafe_ccic/ov7670 hang on boot" from the 8.2 days.
I suspect we never fixed that bug upstream and that same commit needs
to be reverted from the new kernel.
