Hi Michal,

Sorry, I was busy and lost this topic from my radar. I was not able to
reproduce it on my i.MX6Q and i.MX6QP died after other thermal voltage
experiments. Please, if you able to reproduce it, try to investigate
what is wrong, for example increasing wakeup time and/or and tracing
sleap/wake/get sequences.

Regards,
Oleksij
