OMAP == consumer, don't be so surprised... another TI errata which is
absurdly fun is for an NFC controller/transceiver (don't remember the
part number). It can be used with parallel, 3-wire SPI or 4-wire SPI.
Errata #1: 3-wire SPI doesn't work. Workaround: Use 4-wire SPI :D:D

Not that other manufacturers are better; a dsPIC33 errata substantially
says: don't ever *hope* to get the part programmed over JTAG, we left
that part out (were they out of silicon area?!). And don't care to trap
DMA conflicts either since they trigger whenever they want (if they
trigger at all).

Seems that the whole industry is plagued by too short development
cycles...
