Hi AngeloGioacchino Del Regno,

Thanks your reminder this issue. After ajdustment CCI OPP, we also do
power test benchmark and the result is PASS.

The original CCI table has stall issue.  When the Big CPU frequency set
on 2.05G and CCI frequency keep on 500MHz then run CTS MediaTest will
system stall then trigger watchdog reset SoC.

The CPU and CCI frequency setting are not in the same driver. So it
will have timing issue cause CPU stall side effect.

BRs,

Mark Tseng
