I'm aware of that. For me, speculation is not an issue since *any*
rogue code running on the embedded device in question is a major fail.

"I'm going to follow up with patches. I very much realize that
these patches are most likely not acceptable as-is, but I do
include them since they are probably the best description of
where the problems are."

*I* am not calling anything. Maybe the board code for sama5d3xek is,
but I have no idea as it's not "my" code. How can I figure out if it
does?
