I doubt it but somebody from FSL might be able to give a better answer.

I'm personally at a loss. It looks like you are doing everything
right from what I can tell.

That leaves us with some kind of oddball driver bug or a problem
with the low level configuration of the PCIe bridge or the chip
internal bus related to cache coherency maybe.
