Clement,

I gave run for v3 on H6 GS1 TVbox and what i discovered: 

1. I have frequent hard hangs if DVFS is enabled (hard reset required),

2. hangs seems to be related to operating points changing - as limiting OPP table to any single entry (tested on 5 highest OPP ) makes my GS1 stable working,

3. hang seems to be exactly related to OPP changes as having OPP table even with just 2 entries already gives hangs,

4. tunings with <regulator-ramp-delay> makes no difference (tested with 0, 2500 and 25000). Also increasing <regulator-enable-ramp-delay> 2 times up (to 64000) makes no change.

Now I have 2 hypothesis: 

a. issue is SW related: software operations in DVFS are somehow "unsafe" at touching hardware (is it possible we have i.e. concurrency issue here?); 

b. issue is HW related: i.e. in steep-up OPP, time between sending change Vdd-gpu command to HW for increasing Vdd and sending command to HW for increasing GPU freq is too short.

To investigate further I done following test: limit OPP table to 4 entries+all 4 entries have the same Vdd. 

If this test will pass the we know issue is b\. 
If it will fail - then issue is a\. 

And on my GS1 this test fails....so for me issue is a\ likely….

let me know how i can help!
