Ok, managed to build iwd just fine on a novena imx6 platform, running
armhf on "linux-libre" 5.4.25 (haven't yet finished upgrading the
system).

So it appears to potentially be hardware-specific? The imx6 vs. rk3288
are pretty different platforms; I'm not remembering off the top of my
head what the major differences are, but if the build is detecting some
optional cpu feature, and the test is assuming one way or the
other... though still, triggering a kernel panic is a bit exciting way
to fail!
