Also, when you are changing something for 6390, please do the same
change for the non-industrial version of Peridot (6190, 6190X), for
6290 and 6191.

And since Topaz (6341 and 6141) are basically smaller Peridot's (with 6
ports instead of 11), such a change should also go there.

But again, what is the benefit here?
