This doesn't seem to be an answer to my question.  What Qualcomm SoCs
does this issue apply to?  Everything implementing the 10nm pll?  One
specific SoC?  I don't believe I've seen this on MSM8998, nor SDM845,
so I'm interested to know what is the actual impact here.  I don't see
an "IDP" SoC in the IP catalog, so I really have no idea what you are
referring to.
