The unfortunate thing about imprecise external aborts is that they don't tell us what went wrong - we have to guess.
My guess would be that something isn't wired up correctly between the Cortex-A9 and L2 controller in Broadcom SoCs. You could try disabling the clock gating/standby mode - I doubt it's the FLZ feature as that also requires the Cortex-A9 configuration to be changed as well, which wouldn't have happened at the point this fault occurred.
Also, it's possible that BRESP could cause it. Try disabling each in turn and see what effect they have...
