Why not? If you know what you are doing (and I have strong resons to
believe that you do) then I think your fix should be applied to all
systems that are affected by the problem.

I do not want to fix only a subset  of  the  boards  and  see  people
wasting time because they run into the same issue gaiagn and again on
still unfixed systems.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
