Do you know at which frequencies do the faults happen? From what I can 
see, it's just the GPU behaving erratically, and the CPU reading random 
values from the GPU registers. Given the subject of this series, I guess 
the GPU isn't getting enough power.

There could be a problem with the OPP table, might be a good idea to see 
what levels are problematic and try with a more conservative table.

Besides that, there could be a problem with clock frequency changes, or 
voltage changes. It may take some time for the final state to be stable, 
depending how the regulation happens.

Thanks,

Tomeu
