Serial-console R&D setting will definitely drain your battery and
if you don't have anything connected to the device serial connection
pins, it will cause random reboots and other funny effects (because
random serial input sometimes manages to match SysRq keyboard
shortcuts).

Note that R&D settings aren't cleared when the device is flashed
and in general users should have any need for them...
