I encountered a similar DBE using the "broadcom-wl" driver (OpenWRT) on a
Linksys E3000; except that it occurred when reading "ifs_ctl" (offset 0x688).
I too tried putting in some printk's (in linux_osl.c), which caused the
problem to go away.  I eventually found that doing a dummy read of 4 bytes
at that particular address just prior to the actual two byte read caused
the problem to go away as well (an ugly hack).  I can reproduce it if you
want a stack trace.

Does an ndelay(xx), with xx of 10 or so, be as effective as the dummy read? It is not a lot less of a hack, but it would indicate the source of the problem.
