I so far got confirmation from ALexandre this patch works. Can someone else test 
it please? I'd like to roll out a final version to close this issue.

One question remain though -- shall we have the PIO as an experimental feature 
and disable it by default OR not ?

Thanks!

Best regards,
Marek Vasut
