Comment:

 We have confirmed that the problem is triggered when accessing certain
 addresses in the firmware. Accessing directly to them through the JTAG
 interface produces the same crash.

 Offset 200 results in an address that is reserved according with Marvell
 docs, so I guess it should not be accessed. 214, which is not reserved,
 crashes the firmware too, though. We have checked that some offsets above
 200 work, for example 400.

 The fix to this bug would require finding out which offsets/addresses we
 should not access. I guess this should be decided by the Marvell team; we
 can determine by hand which addresses produce the crash, but it would be
 an extremely time consuming task.

 Anyway this crash does not seem related with other crashes that may appear
 during normal operation, so I think this is a low priority issue.
