And another one, this time with more debugging enabled.
The 0x7110XXXX numbers indicate the command-id (the XXXX part
is the cmd id).

After this below, I see a debug-log message come from
the firmware, and then nothing else.  I had added a sort
of keep-alive message in the firmware, and I do not see that
in my logs, so probably firmware is wedged in such a way that
it cannot or will not send packets to the host at this point.

I had chased this sort of problem previously, and ended up
with a hack to reset firmware when the flush failed twice.
I backed that out when applying your patches, but I guess
it is still needed.
