I see this was already tested for these specific boards.  I've also
found that Avenger96 is failing with bisect pointing to the same commit
this is fixing:

    https://lava.sirena.org.uk/scheduler/job/1126314

as is the Libretech Potato:

    https://lava.sirena.org.uk/scheduler/job/1126285

neither of which produce any output before dying, they'll not be fixed
by this change.  Seems like an audit of the drivers might be in order?
