Could we add some FSR_FS check, only panic when the permission fault, eg,

+static inline bool is_permission_fault(unsigned int fsr)
+{
+       int fs = fsr_fs(fsr);
+#ifdef CONFIG_ARM_LPAE
+       if ((fs & FS_PERM_NOLL_MASK) == FS_PERM_NOLL)
+               return true;
+#else
+       if (fs == FS_L1_PERM || fs == )
+               return true;
+#endif
+       return false;
+}
+
