Ahh.. good find. I checked a bunch of places, but didn't check here for
differences. :(

For what its worth, I checked the source history of the out-of-tree
driver this came from. It appears to be a workaround added for fixing a
similar issue.

I haven't been able to dig up the full details yet. It appeares to be a
collision with firmware finalizing recovery after the EMP reset.

Still trying to dig for any more information I can find.
