Interesting.  So does the datasheet say this was fixing an error, or
is there any chance there are different versions of the chip out there?

Also, should we treat this as a fix?  I think we probably should given
we don't really want stable kernels to have wrong data being reported.
If so, please reply with a fixes tag.
