This prevents a bricking issue for some Samsung devices but causes
regression on many other machines.

Thanks for the pointer.  I note that in that thread you yourself imply
there are still issues after applying them?  Was that accurate, is there
yet further patches needed?

Earlier I was testing on a different machine and the result was good. I guess the patch still needs some more testing.
