The chip supports more than what is connected on the route, normally the
EEPROM capabilities force the driver to use only what's on the board,
but sometimes the manufacturer puts in stupid values and 'fixes' it with
software hackery instead.
Does the O2MP have a second antenna port, or a PCB antenna or something
like that?
