This issue was never seen on Tegra210/Tegra186 and hence at that time it 
was thought to be specific to Tegra194. I never tested this on Tegra30 
since I don't have this device. I will clarify this with HW folks if 
workaround is safer for all chips.

Future Tegra chips address this problem and hence cannot be enforced by 
default. May be we can have like below:

if (of_device_is_compatible(np, "nvidia,tegra30-hda"))
chip->bus.core.sdo_limit = 16;
