2 of my tablets (both Polaroid ones) use a value of 2 (rather
then 0 or 1) for crystal_26M_en and using a different value
does not work. Another generic q8 form-factor tablet I've with
an a23 needs crystal_26M_en=1. In all these tablets the chip is
clearly marked esp8089, so the crystal_26M_en setting seems to
not be related to the chip model and deriving this from the
compatible string seems like a bad idea to me.
