Yes, I too notice that higher dfsr values than the spec says works, in
fact my board needs at least dfsr 8 to be 100% stable but the spec says
no more that 6 for my board. I suspect that we should enforce a minimum
value of 8 to be on the safe side, especially as the HW default is 0x10.
Anyhow it is better now than before.
