Actually the entire silicon can go haywire due to bad voltages. :( yep
kernel can go crazy as a result..

Actually can change even between silicons themselves. This is part of
EFUSE values which we write on to each of the silicon. If the chip does
not have SR NVALUES EFUSED, two options:
a) Get a new chip which has SR enabled (or a platform such as zoom2 with
3430 ES3.1 silicon)
b) Disable smartreflex :(

PS: NOT recommended: you could choose to play around with my original
patch for SR http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=125623250803526&w=2 esp
looking at the script involved. but I would not recommend to use it on a
production system.
