Hard to tell. What I can see is that the instruction opcode as read (via
the D-cache) looks fine. I suspect some form of corruption in the
I-cache. Other things like temporary TLB corruption are possible, though
I would expect to see them on the D side as well.

One thing to try is disabling the deeper CPU idle states, only leave
WFI. I've seen failures in the past caused by insufficient TLB or cache
maintenance in firmware.
