As one of my colleagues so wonderfully puts it, SError is effectively 
"part of the SoC has fallen off" - it's an asynchronous notification of 
some serious error condition external to the CPU. In this case, it seems 
quite likely from trying to access a hardware block before it's powered 
up or has finished its reset cycle, and so some CPU access is raising an 
error in the interconnect instead of completing as expected.
