OK. I've reproduced it on a Marvell Armada SoC with v5.6 mainline. See
splats below. Running with irq time accounting enabled, kills the
machine immediately. However, I'm not getting the possible deadlock
warnings in 8250 as you did. So that might be unrelated.

Unfortunately I have no idea what to debug here.

Thanks,
Kurt
