I agree. If the HW can't do it, so what can we do here?

As long as this is well documented and the userspace knows about this 
issue (if anything relies on this feature), then what else can we do?

With the relevant BSpec quotes added above the changes, I can give my:

I would however like to know if this breaks any feature the userspace 
relies on.
