To confirm, applying the DT changes do not fix this for me. Thierry is 
having a look at this to see if there is a way to fix this.

BTW, I have also noticed that Thierry's memory frequency test [0] is 
also failing on Tegra186. The test simply tries to set the frequency via 
the sysfs and this is now failing. I am seeing ...

memory: emc: - available rates: (* = current)
