I'm seeing what appears to be a similar crash (see the end) when booting
using UEFI firmware, which provides the DTB itself (as opposed to using
the kernel provided one like with u-boot).

Trying to boot using the kernel DTB instead of the firmware provided one
fails, I think because the UEFI firmware normally updates a bunch of
stuff at runtime in what it provides, but it can't in the external one.
(i.e. it has the wrong spintable stuff for cpu bringup)

This is running Debian's 3.16 kernel, which has the APM Ethernet related
stuff backported:
$ git log --oneline v3.16.7..debian/jessie/xgene 
        b2553d6 arm64: removed using of the mask attribute in the dts for reset bit.

With the builtin DTB I see:

        (initramfs) od -A x -t x4 /proc/device-tree/soc/ethernet@17020000/reg
        000000 00000000 00000217 00000000 00d10000

        000020 00000000 00000010 00000000 00020000
        
Which seems to correspond to before your patch.

I'm running mustang_sw_1.13.29-beta, using the mustang_tianocore_ubt.fd
method to launch from u-boot.

Ian.
