Hi,

I noticed this ping yesterday and tried to reproduce your issue on a 
similar system I have (btw, this is a 'Kabini' processor and not a 
'Kaveri') without success.

Since the BUG happens on a frequency transition, I tried this-
periodically ramped up the cpu frequency by running a workload to keep 
all cores busy for sometime; And let cpu frequency drop down by killing 
the load.
Repeated this cycle overnight yesterday but did not notice the BUG.
(Using ondemand governor, with uname -r: 3.16-rc4)
(I think you mentioned you were able to reproduce on 3.16. So assuming 
-rc will be affected too)

Are you noticing this BUG when you are running any particular load?
I could help debug effort or test patches to fix issue(whenever 
necessary) if I have some way to reproduce this..
