HEADS-UP: Txxx With DownRev FirmWare Hang On Boot After Kernel Patch 147440-25 Applied OR Solaris 11

 Txxx  with downrev firmware hang after kernel patch 147440-25 applied.
This is also true for current Solaris 11update 1 kernel.

We have seen the issue on:
    Sun Blade T6320
    Sun SPARC[tm] Enterprise T5120
    Sun SPARC[tm] Enterprise T5220
    Sun SPARC[tm] Enterprise T5240
    Sun SPARC[tm] Enterprise T5140

This issue may also affect the following servers but has not been confirmed

    Sun SPARC[tm] Enterprise T5440
    Netra[tm] T5220 Server
    Sun Netra[tm] T5440 Server

Basically this happens with OBP below 4.29.1

Upgrade to current firmware solves the issue.
