We got the confirmation that DDI E is not there for any of the current SKUs
what support is currently merged.

DDI E is only available on the SKUs that posted yesterday... the one that
supports DDI F that is the proper split. Also when DDI F is in use DDI E
cannot be used because the interrupts handling.

So apparently this is not going to be used at all. But I agree that it
would be good if we could have a smarter way to detect it... Any idea?

Thanks,
Rodrigo.
