[ I added Arjun to Cc:, maybe he can help in explaining this issue
  (unfortunately Inderpal's email is no longer working). ]

Please also note that on Exynos5422/5800 SoCs the same ARM rail
voltage is used for 1.9 GHz & 2.0 GHz OPPs as for the 1.8 GHz one.
IOW if the problem exists it is already present in the mainline
kernel.

Interesting.  In the ChromeOS tree I see significantly higher voltages
needed...  Note that one might naively look at
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/chromeos-3.8/drivers/cpufreq/exynos5420-cpufreq.c#178>.

1362500, /* L0  2100 */
1312500, /* L1  2000 */

..but, amazingly enough those voltages aren't used at all.  Surprise!

I believe that the above numbers are actually not used and the ASV
numbers are used instead.  See
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/chromeos-3.8/arch/arm/mach-exynos/include/mach/asv-exynos542x.h#452>

{ 2100000,
1350000, 1350000, 1350000, 1350000, 1350000,
1337500, 1325000, 1312500, 1300000, 1287500,
1275000, 1262500, 1250000, 1237500 },

I believe that interpretation there is: some bins of the CPU can run
at 2.1 GHz just fine at 1.25 V but others need up to 1.35V.

That is definitely the case. One could just look at vendors ASV table
(for 1.9 GHz):
{ 1900000, 1300000, 1287500, 1262500, 1237500, 1225000, 1212500,
                    1200000, 1187500, 1175000, 1162500, 1150000,
		             1137500, 1125000, 1112500, 1112500},

The theoretical difference is up to 1.875V! From my experiments I saw
BIN1 chips which should be the same... but some working on 1.2V, some on
1.225V (@1.9 GHz). I didn't see any requiring higher voltages but that
does not mean that there aren't such...

...so if you're running at 2.1 GHz at 1.25V then perhaps you're just
running on a CPU from a nice bin?

I've been running the proposed frequency/voltage combinations without any
stability problems on my XU4, XU3 and even XU3-lite ( I did not delete the
nodes on XU3-lite dts) with make -j8 kernel and ssvb-cpuburn.
The chips are poorly cooled, especially the XU4 and quickly step down.

Would be nice to see a dump of PKG_ID and AUX_INFO chipid registers
along with name of tested board. Because the "Tested on XU3" is not
sufficient.

If you point me to how to read these values out, I will publish them.

You can use the exynos-chipid driver posted by Pankaj. Apply patches 1 and
2 from this series (http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg548384.html)
and then this diff to get the values of the registers that Krzysztof asked:
