Yes. The kfifo changes have caused some sort of alteration in behaviour.

Once the device hangs, it then tends to refuse any input until power
cycled. So it's clearly getting into some sort of undefined state,
though whether that's because it only gets sent half of its firmware
(ie, the hang occurs and as a result the hardware dies) or whether it's
causing the hang by dying is unclear.
