76989 - Design Advisory: Versal BUFDIV_LEAF incorrect functionality resulting in HW failure when used as route-thru and DIVIDE value not equal to 1 when that is the expected value. - MBUFG buffers utilize BUFDIV_LEAF route-thru BELs with a divider setting of 1, 2, 4, 8 to implement the divided clocks driven by the O1, O2, O3, O4 outputs of the MBUFG. During route and post-route implementation stages Vivado might move clock loads from one BUFDIV_LEAF driver to another. When that happens, and a BUFDIV_LEAF ends up load-less, it can be utilized by Vivado as a route-thru or as a driver for another clock. In the case where the re-used BUFDIV_LEAF requires a divide value of 1, the previous BUFDIV_LEAF divide value is retained which results in functional issues on HW when the previous divide value was not 1.
