Hm. Just curious, what CPU revision you use? So that I could try
to reproduce the issue... I have MPC8360E-MDS boards, rev 2.0 and
rev rev 2.1 CPUs, Marvell PHYs. I also have MPC8360E-RDK (rev 2.1).
And I didn't see any issues with this patch.

I don't see any point in reverting, because it will surely break my boards.
So, we need to fix this, not just hide.

Well, I'm ready to help you with debugging.

It could be that it takes too long to stop the UCC, and xenomai
makes the timings worse, so the watchdog triggers.
Can you try the following patch?
