Care to check if this happens with current mainline kernel and sgx
disabled?

The reason I'm asking is I used a pi-top with a omap5-igep0050 board as
a test laptop with the mainline kernel for about two years until I managed
to break the UART connector on it a few years ago :) I sure had things
working reliably with no hangs with cpuidle enabled with LPAE. This was
with the pi-top HDMI panel without sgx.

Also please see if this happens with omap5-uevm too. There pyra related
DDR self-refresh related hangs should be out of the AFAIK, but still
worth testing.

Regards,

Tony
