This doesn't seem to be the cause - it seems that there's something
going on with 4.17 that really is causing the Dove GC600 to get stuck.
Reverting all the drivers/gpu/drm/etnaviv changes back to the 4.16
state while keeping everything else the same results in no hangs,
whereas increasing the timeout with 4.17 still results in hangs.

I'll try to find some time to bisect.
