Confusion regarding kernel version, device tree, and buildroot - linux

I was provided with a 3.0.35 linux kernel for an arm i.mx6 board that uses the older "board file" format, as well as an older (2013.02) buildroot repo that has been used to generate the proper images and rootfs.
My goal is to use the latest buildroot public repo commit so that in the future it will be easier to keep packages up to date. Currently, I have to manually edit package files (OpenSSL, lighttpd, etc) to make the latest version available via buildroot.
I tried replicating my board configuration within the latest buildroot (post-2016.05). Everything remained more or less the same, except the toolchain had to change to support the newer systemd (Linaro 2013.01 -> CodeBench ARM 2014.05). Results:
Buildroot: build succeeds
U-boot: image works
Kernel: image causes a kernel panic
My questions really are:
Can I use my older kernel with the newer buildroot/toolchain, or is this an incompatibility? Do certain toolchains not support older kernels?
If it is an incompatiblity, is there an easier way to keep my older buildroot's packages up to date?
If both above are not options, is there any sort of tool to help migrate from a board file to device tree? Is it easy to convert to dts, or is this a long project?
EDIT:
Changed to Linaro 2014.09 toolchain. I was previously using systemd 202 as my init system. Since the newer buildroot requires a toolchain built against kernel headers >= 3.10 for systemd, I had to switch my init system to systemv. Here is the crash I'm receiving:

As I stated in a comment, the crash looks very similar to the one in Freescale 3.0.35 kernel crash. If so, the crash happens in memset.S. The top two commits in memset.S in upstream kernel whose SHA1 begins with c2459d3 and 1bd4678, respectively, should solve that issue.

Compiling driver for ARMv7 vs ARMv5

I've managed to compile a driver for an ARM based device, but the driver crashed when I try to load it.
here is the output from cpuinfo:

Here is the uname -r output

As you can I've added an extra vermagic (2.6.37 mod_unload ARMv7) so it will match the target system.
So if I understand this correct, I've compiled this module for an ARMv5 cpu, while the target is v7. Could this be the cause of the device driver crashing?
The device has this driver, but its embedded into an other driver package from the hw producer. This package also load some drivers that we cannot use. This driver package is not load, but I guess this indicate that this driver should work on this hardware some how.
here is the crash log

I hade to change the cp210x.c file and comment out where there was any use of mutex. this was the only place:
static void cp210x_close(struct usb_serial_port *port)
{
dbg("%s - port %d", __func__, port->number);
usb_serial_generic_close(port);
/* mutex_lock(&port->serial->disc_mutex);*/
if (!port->serial->disconnected)
cp210x_set_config_single(port, CP210X_IFC_ENABLE, UART_DISABLE);
/* mutex_unlock(&port->serial->disc_mutex);*/
}
Are you trying to load a kernel module that was compiled for one kernel into another kernel? Linux modules (what you call drivers) are only supposed to be loaded into the kernel that they were compiled for. Even the same version of the kernel with different configuration or compiler settings could render the module incompatible. So playing with version magic is very dangerous.
The reason your driver is crashing is because it is trying to access kernel data structures using incorrect layout, so it is not actually reading the attributes it thinks it should be reading.
Changing architecture from ARMv7 to ARMv5 is very drastic configuration change that will completely change the memory layout of kernel data structures.
Unlike some other operating systems like Windows, Linux does not have an abstraction layer or fixed memory layouts that let you load the same loadable module into different versions of the kernel.

Qemu x86 and Linux 3.12.17 Kernel panic when booting

I have an issue regarding the execution of a custom Openwrt system with Linux 3.12.17 in Qemu 2.0.0. During the boot process, I have a message telling me that the bootloader cannot find my root partition device, which is /dev/sda as you can see in the following image :

What is very weird is that I have the same version of OpenWRT system with a Linux 2.6.32 and it works well. Do I have additionnal kernel options to configure for linux 3.12.X for making it works with Qemu 2.0.0 ?
Thank you in advanced for your helps and comments.
There may be something wrong with your bin/x86/openwrt-x86-sgc_qemu-rootfs-ext4.img file. Where did you get that file from?
Also, you're specifying a disk device as the root filesystem for the kernel (root=/dev/sda) . This is wrong. You're suppose to specify a partition not a disk device. So you probably meant to say "root=/dev/sda1". It's safer to specify a UUID instead of a partition name (e.g. root=UUID=3552064b-7e4d-4e3a-ae48-943b333267d9 ) in case your root partition isn't actually /dev/sda1.
You can extract the UUID for your virtual root partition by creating loopback devices from your disk image:
losetup -P /dev/loop1 bin/x86/openwrt-x86-sgc_qemu-rootfs-ext4.img.
You should see new devices created called /dev/loop1p1 , /dev/loop1p2 , etc. Your virtual partition /dev/sda1 will be created as /dev/loop1p1, /dev/sda2 will be /dev/loop1p2 etc. You can then determine the UUID using parted or gparted on /dev/loop1
You may also need to specify something like "format=raw" in your qemu command, if the disk image is a raw disk image, or you may need to convert it first to a qcow2 image (qemu-image convert).

linux-xlnx: Kernel hangs at Registering SWP/SWPB emulation handler

I'm attempting to get a persistent distribution (Linaro) on an SD card, up and running on the ZedBoard. I built the kernel from the linux-xlnx source, and have run into a number of issues during startup. I've managed to overcome most of the kernel hangs I've been experiencing at bootup, but I'm stuck at "Registering SWP/SWPB emulation handler".
I've noticed an option in the .config file "CONFIG_SWP_EMULATE=y", but even if I comment this out (and I don't know if I should be doing this anyway, to be honest), when I go to rebuild the kernel with "make UIMAGE_LOADADDR=0x8000 uImage", this line just gets re-enabled in the .config file for whatever reason, and the problem persists.
The original configuration was created using "make xilinx_zynq_defconfig". I then used "make menuconfig" to enable earlyprintk and low-level debugging in the kernel hacking menu (displaying the output on UART1). From there, I directly edited the .config file each time the kernel got stuck at some point. The notable changes from the "xilinx_zynq_defconfig" thus far are:
CONFIG_DEBUG_LL=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_ZYNQ_UART1=y
CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y
# CONFIG_SERIAL_XILINX_PS_UART is not set
# CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS is not set
CONFIG_ARM_THUMB=y
CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE=y
Any suggestions on how to overcome this issue would be appreciated. Thank you in advance :)

unexpected crash of embedded-linux on Zynq-Device (Zybo)

It is clear that there is an error with the "mounted filesystem":
zynq> EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) on device 179:2.
Trying to move old root to /initrd ... /initrd does not exist. Ignored.
Unmounting old root
Trying to free ramdisk memory ... failed
devtmpfs: error mounting -2
Why does this happen? Why before I can do everything with the system and, suddenly, I have a crash? Yes, the system crashes when I am doing nothing on it and not when I am working with it.
Are there some advice to solve this? to not to have anymore these crashes?
From the Linux Kernel Command line I can see "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2" and also the target is started with initial ramdisk image "uramdisk.image.gz". So the init process or scripts inside ramdisk image should be responsible to mount the real file system from SD i.e. from /dev/mmcblk0p2 and remove the used memory of ramdisk. To narrow down the problem, you need to analyze the steps taken in ramdisk image to mount the real filesystem and make sure you have the proper RFS flashed inside SD in /dev/mmcblk0p2. I can also seen some missing directories to mount the /dev/mmcblk0p1 and /dev/mmcblk0.
++ Mounting filesystem
mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /mnt failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0 on /mnt failed: No such file or directory
In simple words, check the init scripts inside the ramdisk image and make sure the RFS is mounted properly.

Linux 2.6.28 crashes when mem=1024M is passed as boot parameter from u-boot

I am working on building an linux for powerpc 8641d board. My U-boot has been modified to recognize 1 GB of memory(RAM) and it does. But Linux 2.6.28 crashes when mem=1024M is passed as boot parameter from u-boot. I have specified the memory size as 0x40000000 (1GB) in DTS file. Can any one help me to findout the reason?
But the same Linux image works when I specify bootargs as 'mem=256M'. But OS idetifies the total memory of 256MB only but I want it to identify complete 1GB memory.
Here is the dump of linux boot: ** It hangs at this point:
