Unfortunately, I kinda gave up on PMP / controller compatibility
issues and it seems like most vendors have given up on PMPs too.
After the first gen chips, nobody is really working on it, and the
first gen chips of course are full of quirks and bugs. At this point,
I'd generally recommend against using PMPs and if you really want to
stick to known working configurations.
Sorry.
