I can see towards getting that changed, but I doubt this helps us with the
current problem.

I obviously have access to that documentation (which is also on its way
to become public, but needs more time) - but believe me, there is nothing
in that documentation that would help you to debug this problem :(

I actually own a 2133 mininote, but I rarely used it for anything but to test
openchrome on it.  What do you suggest me to try?

I also have some other systems with a C7-M, so I can certainly verify
certain code on a number of them, if a good testcase exists.
