16.05 custom kernel call fails to get session capability.

Thanks for the rapid reply Norman. I'll try your instrumentations patch. I'll also create a run script that does not invoke the the platform client which ran ok without the ctl_module being invoked.

I think you are observing a rather indirect symptom. The actual problem
is that the 'ctrl_module' aborted for some reason. E.g., it requested a
service for which no route is configured and got the 'Service_denied'
exception you see in the log. After aborting, the 'ctrl_module' exits.
Now, when the '437x_platform_client' tries open a session to this
service, it is no longer there. So init responds to the session request
with another 'Service_denied' exception. This is the one that you
observed in the 'Pinmux_connection' constructor.

You need to find out which kind of session 'ctrl_module' tried to open
when it aborted. I would instrument the code at
base/src/lib/base/child.cc like in the attached patch. With the patch
applied, you will see a nice log of session requests. Look for the one
that appears immediately before the 'ctrl_module' aborts. It might be
helpful to also print the session 'args'.

Cheers
Norman
