You're likely right.  I was going on memory from an e-mail from
Nicloas Defresne who wrote:

"I will check the patchset, but you need in the mini-variant to disable the G1
post processor, because this block was fused out. We didn't make it optional
from the start as according to the V1 of the TRM it was there, but that error
was corrected in V3."

In my head I assumed the G2 was affected as well, but when I double
checked his email, and based on the above statement, the G2
post-processing is probably there, so I'll run some tests with the G2
post-processing enabled.  I'll also double check those registers on
both to confirm what they read. I am not sure when I'll have time
because I leave for London next week, and I won't return until early
January, but I'll do what I can.
