Urgh, this looks nasty. Thanks for the report! A few questions:

 - Can you share your .config somewhere please?
 - What was your last known-good kernel?
 - Have you seen it on any other Soc?
 - What's the CPU in your SoC?

If I can reproduce the failure here, then I should be able to debug ASAP.

Cheers,

Will
