Got it. I will wait for Mathia's final patch.

Sure, we will work with hardware designers to understand the root cause but
it is very unlikely that this can be fixed with a firmware/control setting
change. so this workaround would atleast solve the stability issues. It
happens rarely but we test with lots of devices in our farm and it shows up
eventually on one or the other device in a day or so. Why not include a
harmless patch and improve user experience is what driving us to request
Mathias and you to help.

Thanks,
