btw was checking the TRM manual (Chapter 28, PMC - page 1172)

[..]
PMC1 power mode[LDOVL] fields don’t necessarily satisfy the operation voltage levels
required by the system. Such operation voltage requirements can be found on i.MX 7ULP
Data Sheet. In this sense, no power transition should be performed before ensuring the
mentioned register fields are matching the required operation voltage levels expressed on
the data sheet.

=>  0.95V in the ldt_init function, is it in the data sheet?
I just cant find that particular document
