Wacky Racers on Glamo

Believe so.

It only seems to get provoked during some suspend and resume, I have
never seen the White Screen business just in normal use.

I also monitored the GPIO side before the divider and never saw a glitch
from there.  But I can make a reset on Glamo any time just by the scope
probe, and the visible and logical symptoms fit perfectly.

We should be able to work around it in software just by storing and
restoring the important registers.  But today I found it can act
differently with all the normal registers correctly restored, some state
inside Glamo DRAM maybe.
