It appears that the write to register 0x78 is attempting to switch the
LPC device from subtractive decode to positive decode. Presumably the
hang is due to the LPC device not being configured for some IO or
memory range. Why you're seeing the hang only when mmconfig is
enabled, I have no idea.

I'd vote for removing that line, but I have no means to check whether
that would break any board.
