The S3C2442 datasheet has a big NOTE by that register saying to only
enable one source.  I guess the issue is that the ARM can't deal with
FIQ reentrancy, it has a single set of FIQ shadow registers for high
speed context switching: once you started using them if another FIQ
comes you are in trouble.

If I understood it the problem only comes during resume... I guess the
big question is, is all that is needed to make the problem a long period
with interrupts off?  If that's all it takes, I would wonder if one of
the resume handlers is spinning at a bad time, eg, LCM ASIC one has
mdelay() in there IIRC.
