This would affect all chips supported by this driver. Hmm, and I was sure
I tested this. I'll have to dig out my hardware and confirm.

The code currently only uses bit 4 of the DEVICE_SETUP (D9h) command
to determine which current limit setting to use. Looking into the
datasheet, it looks like it also has to evaluate bit 2, and I wonder
if there is a means to determine CL if bit 2 = 0. Any idea ?
Does bit 4 report the CL pin value if bit 2 = 0 ?

Thanks,
Guenter
