The only problems I've had reported were the MFC interoperability issues. Then again - I refuse to accept reports of stability problems from anyone undervolting or overclocking. Patches like this are exactly why - if the CPU is on the hairy edge of stability, load transients (like core power being turned off/on more often) are going to give the regulator problems tracking. However eliminating 90%+ of static leakage consumption (AFTR powers off core but not cache) by completely depowering the core more frequently vs. reducing it a fraction of a percent by undervolting a few millivolts extra - that's an easy decision. I need to rerun my tests, but with the patch, the penalty for incurring a permanent wakelock is now a bit less than 1.5%/hour - pre-patch it was around 2%.

Of course, if this is the final patch that makes sense. I'm going to continue maintaining my GB kernels right up until I9100 source drops - probably a little bit beyond. XXLPH is highly unimpressive, and I don't think Sammy will be able to polish it up to the point that GB is polished in only 2-3 weeks.
