which does not mean that there is no problem...

So you have a patch disabling 1Ghz OPP in there? The error messages
look like things I got when 1Ghz was enabled, so better double check.

if it is letux, then there is e.g. the interrupt reversal in there.
Maybe it unveils some problem which should be fixed, maybe it is
harmful, it was never well reviewed...

the error messages, esp. regarding rcu do not look so related to this.
Maybe having this patch or not triggers some other bug. Maybe we trigger
some race conditions. Or i2c error checking regarding OPP setting...

I am not ruling out that this patch has nasty side effects but I think
there is more in the game.
