As kernel does not know the initial voltage, during regulator registration the framework considers the current voltage to be zero and tries to bring up the regulator to minimum supported voltage of 600mV. This causes the dip which might be of concern in SS parts where the voltage might be insufficient leading to silent reboots. >>>>>> That's an SoC-specific thing, the same regulator can be used with >>>>>> many different ones.

We already have the CPU supply and OPP table where each level has an opp-microvolt property changes in place and it did not help in our case. We have now planned to update the regulator-min-microvolt property with the SVS voltage (725000uV) in the board DT such that the regulators are brought up with the nominal voltage which would be sufficient for all the corner parts operating at 800MHz. That way, we would update the DT and drop this patch in the next spin. Thanks, Devi Priya >>> >>> Konrad >>>>>> >>>>>> Konrad >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Best Regards, >>>>>>> Devi Priya
