Try building with the following kconfig options added:
LOCKUP_DETECTOR=y
BOOTPARAM_HARDLOCKUP_PANIC=y
BOOTPARAM_SOFTLOCKUP_PANIC=y
DETECT_HUNG_TASKS=y
BOOTPARAM_HUNG_TASK_PANIC=y

While those won't fix the issue, they should at least get you a 
crashdump when the system hangs, which in turn should help track down 
what exactly is happening.
