Okay, I get the picture, thanks. Still, this is a corner case which is
furthermore based only on experiments, not on specifications. This is
way too vague to have this added to a generic OS. For most people, it
won't work. And this will add some complexity to the code base which I
don't want to maintain. Because the underlying principle is unreliable
itself.

Sorry that the HW design is flawed on your device. If you can still
influence the process, you could get the EERPOM replaced. If you still
want your software solution in your device (I don't recommend it), you
have to carry it out-of-tree, I am afraid.
