Did you try the patch that Michal posted that checks the chip version
ID and so might be a good and safe fix for all chips?

If you want to put in a hack like this for a particular platform, maybe
make it specific to that one platform so you don't risk instability on
a wide range of systems?

Thanks,
Ben
