For SoC internal problems, yes, of course, they should be fixed.
But I don't think the causes always come from inside the system.
They could be outside the system or a device, such as sending DATA IN
with a tag that a host has ever submitted a command with because of
some bugs of the device. You might think putting this sort of code doesn't
make sense but there could be various events that can't be understood in the
point of view of the spec. And chips that is already fab-outed can't be fixed.
That's why I put the details into Exynos. I'm not talking about the spec.
I think Exynos isn't required to contain only things related with the spec
and it can have realistic part.

I missed for two things. Thanks, I'll look more carefully.
