Thanks, so this seems depending on the hardware, maybe a subtle
difference matters. As far as I read the code changes, the workaround
was applied in the past unconditionally, so it must be fairly safe
even if the chip works as is.
Or, for avoiding the unnecessarily application of the workaround,
should it be changed as a fallback after the failure at the first
try...?
