I made a mistake when testing on the db410c earlier, but with it fixed
I can replicate the issue. It seems to stem from the hardware not
actually being powered up when the hw_version() call is being made.

Unfortunately there is no simple way to achieve the original intention
of the series that reduced the frequency of the hw_version() being
called, while avoiding the above issue. So let's revert to the
previous behaviour for the time being.

Thank you for your help Marek! I'll submit a v2 shortly.
