I doubt that that IS_NORMAL_CHIP business affects us - the test chips are not 
supposed to be in the wild, but I modified your patch to include that test.

With that patch I am getting watchdog_wq callbacks that force a reconnection 
every 6 seconds, but that is due to other changes in my code. The result is a 
34% loss of pings, but the connection stays up.
