We observed that a specific AFCv4.0 card suffers a loss of power in the payload power rails event though the MCH indicates that the card is in M4 state. It seems that the MMC detects a voltage dip in the 12V power rail and turns off the DC/DC converters, but we suspect it is a false reading.

This is a workaround to try avoiding turning off the payload power if
the AMC +12V voltage measurement dips below 8V for a single
measurement.
