CPU is less reliable than GCE in terms of CRC retrieval because:
1. Slower read/write register speed (1/15 of GCE)
2. The time ISR being executed is not controllable
3. CPU and bus could be busy, or the clock rate is low at the time

Although we do have a CPU version, there is about a 5% chance to
fail if the CPU clock rate is not set to the maximum,
therefore, we choose GCE (CMDQ) to do the job for better stability.

Will mention this in the cover letter in the next version.
