Yes, it's quite relevant - thanks for the info!

I've checked with the firmware team and the QA team.  This definitely
appears to be a f/w misconfiguration that escaped the QA process.  QA
is updating their flow to check for this, and FW is looking into how it
happened.

In addition to the workaround I mentioned earlier, another possibility
would be to produce a fixed, spec-compliant firmware image and flash it
onto your S7813.  However, that doesn't eliminate the issue that there
might have been other QA escapes that would need to be handled (should
they arise).
