+Subject: [PATCH] am335x-evm: Fix bone pmic shut down over USB power
+Cc: trini@ti.com
+
+* Set DCDC2 to 1.2v for all boards irrespective of board version, or power source.
+* Set USB current trip point to 1300mA for all boards and power sources.
+* Only Skip setting of MPU frequency to 720MHz for A1 and USB-powered boards.
+
+Credits to Jason for noticing this. Tested with 20 reboots over USB.
