Breaking something that was "working" (not really working though) before is a
hard thing to justify, but I feel like this is one of the cases in which we
have to swallow the pill.

This is a hack that I've always been angry about, and causing all sorts of
random issues on MediaTek SoCs from time to time... that was fixed multiple
times by hacking the previous hack which was needed for this hack to still
work in a way or another.

I am tempted to give you a R-b right now, but let me carefully test this on
multiple devices before that.

Meanwhile, I just wanted to say that I agree with you about this commit and
wanted to give a bit more context to people reading "this breaks things" so
that they can understand what's going on (and that we're not crazy! ..or at
least, not *that* much :-P).

Cheers,
Angelo
