I still don't see how 818325 is related, since there aren't any conditional
stores in the sequences below.

Do you have any register values for these CPUs?

For example, the futex address in r5 ...

... the address in r0 for the cache maintenance ...

... and the address in r0 for the TLBI.

do you mean that they're deadlocked in hardware?
