Nah, it's not a secret.
We have a device with hdmi out, the sudden reboot bug was triggered somewhere in the hdmi out digital resolution change (1080, 720, etc)... 
so we changed the way the digital resolution is changed and the bug 
magically disapparead :)

I am not very familiar with the inners of this particular SoC chip so I can't really imagine how can the system reboot in such a way. 

Thanks,
Ezequiel.
