I was sure your will be asking. :-)

I am using RPi4[0] for testing this. Device tree is based on sources
from here [1]. From this devicetree it is obvious what is happening.

Unfortunately right now SUSE Bugzilla is under maintenance, so perhaps you
can't see the bug report [2]. In brief I am using latest Tumbleweed on this
device and you can imagine that error is happening always.

Ivan
