I believe tR_max is bigger (200us), but please check that this is
actually the case, you can also try enlarging this delay. But if it was
a timeout issue we would probably see errors from the controller driver?

Bean, Domenico, is there any AN or specific document which I missed
asking not to use this feature on specific chips? Are they supposed to
work?
