The wordpress (on azure.com) link here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051#c860

Certainly seems to hint at a power delivery problem (with the SoC not
with specific boards) and all models reported as needing
intel_idle.max_cstate=1 there are quad-core Bay Trails.

I guess it the problem happens on all quad-core Bay Trail variants when
the GPU and CPU both increase there power-demand (by up-clocking, resp.
leaving C6) at the same time and Chris' fix makes sure all CPU cores
leave C6 before doing the GPU up-clocking avoiding this.

Note this is all speculation / educated guessing.

Hans
