Actually you might be right with this being a clock driver issue. The 
hanging happens while enabling the clocks (unrelated to any GPU register 
access). The strange thing is that most of the devices we have don't 
care and work as is and some devices reliably fail each time when 
enabling the clocks in the "wrong" order.

So I guess this could indeed be some clock being enabled with an 
upstream PLL not having locked yet or something.
