BeagleBone White - PMIC - Anonymous Restart Issue

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3359

Dear All 

                    I am working with BBW running on Android JellyBean 4.1.2 (Linux kernal version 3.2) . I have one head ache with  Anonymous Restart Issue  .

I found that this is a known issue with Beaglebone due to some probing signals in PMIC .

      Anonymous Re-start is known issue in BeagleBone  running on Kernal3.2.
 
 
     The root cause lies with PMIC (Power Management IC - TPS65217C) used in the system.
 
 
     ( PMIC is somehow confused by USB-OTG probing since it is detecting USB VBus signal and the am3359 is probing the same pin.).
 
Possible fixes :
 
- Using Angstrom 3.8 kernel

- Powering the BBB from USB 

- Limiting the CPU frequency - Not efficient or convenient method .
 
 
Hardware work-around is also available as 
 
                              -  https://groups.google.com/d/msg/beagleboard/5qSJ4dQdar4/KblttmTyTyIJ  says.
 
 
But none of them works. Is there any possible fix or work-around possible ?
