Re: [PATCH mvebu v2 00/10] Armada 37xx: Fix cpufreq changing base CPU speed to 800 MHz from 1000 MHz

[nnet]

I've two of these and I've just swapped them (and re-pasted the heat sinks).

The second one ran under load for awhile and now has frozen as well.

Under a moderate load `wget -O /dev/null <large.bin>` @X00Mbits they are fine.

Under a 1 min speed test of load ~200Mbits routed WireGuard they freeze.

They fine with both those workloads @1000_800.

Perhaps it's heat? Unfortunately I don't have any numbers on that ATM.
