We are trying to bisect an instability problem and we still needs to find the reason. We really can't understand if it's just a power delivery problem or a scaling problem from muxes or other things. The current problem is that after some time the device kernel panics with a number of strange reason like invalid kernel paging and other strange (or the device just freze and reboots, not even a crash log) Many kernel panics reports the crash near the mux switch (like random error right before the mux switch) So I suspect there is a problem there. But due to the fact that is very random we have NO exact way to repro it. I manage sometime, while playing with the code, to repo similar kernel crash but still i'm not sure of the real cause. I know it's OT but do you have any idea about it? If you remember anything about it? (To scale the freq i'm using a dedicated cpufreq driver that works this way: - We first scale the cache to the max freq across all core, we set the voltage - We scale the cpu to the correct target. This is all done under a lock. Do you see anything wrong in this logic? To mee these random crash looks to be really related to something wrong with the mux or with the cache set to a wrong state) Thx for any suggestion about this. (also I will update this commit and mention both apq and ipq in the comments) -- Ansuel
