I kept digging, and there is an ARM errata https://developer.arm.com/documentation/uan0009/d/ (764319) which is heading into the direction of the issue we face. The challenge is that the DBGSWENABLE signal is not accessible through software (I am still digging to confirm that), it has to be switched from the external debugger. What is weird is that many vendors are referring this errata, they shall be facing the same kind of challenges in some way.
