Our boards were also affected by this, and I managed to track the
problem down to the zeroing of cnt register at the end of write, which
was not present in the original version of the driver and appears to be
triggering an issue that is mentioned in OMAP3 errata.

I just posted a patch to address this problem. You can find it here:
