We still have that 51.2 MHz display around, so happy to test -- might
take a little bit of time as this already has a workaround but it's
definitely something I'd like to clean up so more than happy to help.

Seconded; we can keep the code as fallback of the table at first and if
it works well maybe even remove the table altogether later, but just
having fallback first would be great.
