Expected result. The DWC driver will probe the device on our platform
only while your platform falls back to using the generic driver.
Anders, in order understand the root cause of the problem could you please
1. upload the bogus boot log.
2. try what I suggested here
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ide/20221014133623.l6w4o7onoyhv2q34@mobilestation/
and if the system fails to boot at some point upload the boot log.
