I do have both QRTR=m and QCOM_GLINK=m.  I'm honestly not sure what
started triggering this issue for me.. it seemed to have started after
merging msm-next + drm-misc-next on top of your
jhovold/wip/sc8280xp-v6.7-rc5 (the merged branches were based on -rc3
so this shouldn't have really brought in random non-drm things).
Maybe there is a timing element to it?  I felt like the problem was
obvious enough, and the exact details of why I started hitting this
were not important enough to spend time tracking down.
