    Solution to stability problems.

    I'm almost certain that most stability problem with Wasser's (and not only his) firmware might be connected to degradation of RK3288 SoC. After two years of use I've encountered random hard freezes problem. It began with Wasser's 4.0.6 ROM. My solution was to rise voltage for my SoC. At first I did so only for overclocked frequency setting (1.9GHz) and that turn out to be enough. For my device to work properly at 1.9GHz frequency it needs now at least 1.425V. But after few more months I got simillar "pink" (sometimes green) pixel freezes (that might look different for other). Then I noticed that even after limiting CPU frequency to 1.8GHz it doesn't pass. After some investigation I discovered that for some reason voltage at 1.6GHz is higher than for 1.8GHz CPU frequency. It is only visible after cut of /sys/dvfs/dvfs_tree and watching dmesg output. Settings in DTB for 1.6GHz frequency (and not only that) are overriden by kernel. Right now I've got stable machine again. Mine CPU operation point settings are right now like this:
    Code:
    [12457.011311] |  |  |- clock: clk_core current: rate 408000, volt = 912500, enable_dvfs = ENABLE
    [12457.011339] |  |  |- clk limit(enable):[126000000, 1920000000]; last set rate = 408000
    [12457.011356] |  |  |  |- freq = 126000, volt = 850000
    [12457.011371] |  |  |  |- freq = 216000, volt = 850000
    [12457.011387] |  |  |  |- freq = 408000, volt = 912500
    [12457.011402] |  |  |  |- freq = 600000, volt = 962500
    [12457.011418] |  |  |  |- freq = 816000, volt = 1062500
    [12457.011433] |  |  |  |- freq = 1008000, volt = 1125000
    [12457.011449] |  |  |  |- freq = 1200000, volt = 1200000
    [12457.011464] |  |  |  |- freq = 1416000, volt = 1275000
    [12457.011480] |  |  |  |- freq = 1608000, volt = 1387500
    [12457.011496] |  |  |  |- freq = 1800000, volt = 1400000
    [12457.011513] |  |  |  |- freq = 1920000, volt = 1425000
    [12457.011531] |  |  |- clock: clk_core current: rate 408000, regu_mode = UNKNOWN, regu_mode_en = 0
    [12457.011546] -------------DVFS TREE END------------
    It was achived with those overclockmatic_RK3288.elf settings:
    Code:
    CPU 11
    108 900
    216 900
    408 900
    600 900
    816 1000
    1008 1050
    1200 1100
    1416 1200
    1608 1350
    1800 1400
    1920 1425
    Because I use such high voltage it might speed up aging problem for RK3288. I was expecting to work with this device at least for one more year. It might not happen .

    Where are new SoC with ARM Cortex A-73 on at least 16nm FF node?
