While I cannot help you with this specific problem, I think it is
worth to mention that this kind of bugs are exactly where kdump
might prove to be useful. As now you have a snapshot of the system
during the time of the crash, you might be able to dig out the cause
using tools like gdb and crash[1]
Currently kdump patches are not in mainline but if you decide to
take that route, they can be found by searching this ML and I can
provide assistance for setting them up.

( crash doesn't have ARM support but I have experimental patches
to make it work on ARM as well )
