Hello again Robin,

for reference, here's the commit for OpenWRT, originally from Armbian:
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/2dc9801fe81ab3c092d2ca75e4c63f8d5eea46f5

Please note that the author of that commit specifically mentions a warm
reboot is needed to trigger the "stuck on x1" behavior. That author took
a different strategy than me, just reordering instead of using for-loop.
I'm open for different strategies, but the report is real I assure you.
