Ok, now I see the issue. So I looked into the documentation and there is 
a "ENB8" pin in PMIC package - this pin allows steering BUCK8 ON/OFF by 
the hardware. If ENB8 is set to "low", then you can do on/off - when 
"high" then you can't change it's state by I2C write. This PMIC has a 
lot of such gpio for setting the default power-on state of ldo/buck 
regulators.

The signal of ENB8 in OdroidU3 schematic is missed, I can suppose that 
it is connected to one of SOC RST signal as it is on Odroid X2.

So doing the reset by setting low/high voltage value - seems to be good 
in this case.
