I use the following quick fix for a <Broadcom BCM5701 B5, ASIC rev. 0x105>.

This moves the bge_writemem() into a new new block of code that is
only executed for certain bge_asicrevs.  (BTW, it is confusing that
bge_asicrev != ASIC rev. printed by dmesg.)  The bge_writemem() is new
too and without the above it seems to be associated with nothing.  The
above is in bge_reset().  The hang always occurred for initialization
from /etc/rc.d.  bge_reset() somehow succeeded when called twice before
getting that far.

The patch also some other details that I'm interested in and some style
bugs.  I will report these in private mail.
