I decided to find out why enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES "fixes" kernel /
device stability for me. I tried enabling manually code that normally
hides behind the #ifdev CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES.

Attached to this e-mail is a small patch that is enough to make my
kernel stable (mutex-fix-bcm53573.diff).

#####

It's not what's the most interesting thought. What really doesn't make
sense anymore is that below diff (on top of attached one) brings back
hangs/lockups.

I triple checked that. Dropping a single unused function breaks kernel /
device stability on BCM53573!

AFAIK the only thing below diff actually affects is location of symbols
(I actually verified that by comparing System.map before and after -
over 22'000 of relocated symbols).

Can some unfortunate location of symbols cause those hangs/lockups?
