Ok but IFS definitely needs to be set. EIFS I'm not entirely sure about,
haven't looked at the timing diagrams for a long time.

That won't be easy to tell, but the IFS is different afaik so there the
mode has an influence. But I think that this mode setting need not be
tied to the frequency table.
