I've just reproduced this locally on my dragonboard APQ8060.

It looks like the write_wb_reg() call that's exploding is from
get_max_wp_len(), which we call immediately after registering the
dbg_reset_online callback. Clearing DBGPRSR.SPD before the write_wb_reg() hides
the problem, so I suspect we're seeing the issue I mentioned above -- it just
so happens that we go idle in a new place.

The below hack allows boot to continue, but is not a real fix. I'm not
immediately sure what to do.

Linus, I wasn't able to get ethernet working. Do I need anything on top
of v4.10-rc2 && multi_v7_defconfig?

Thanks,
Mark.
