Yes, but how frequent?

See this a lot during heavy testing.

Never see this.

Very rarely see this.

However, our experience may not be comparable; we are using 8787 with
a 3.5 kernel, because we haven't the resources to use a later kernel
or get backports working.

Also, we use WOL (wake on lan) heavily; frequent automatic suspends,
with a GPIO wakeup in addition to the SDHCI.
