If I only knew the root-cause of that problem - unfortunately I don't.
That's also why I have such a hard time to describe it.

I cannot provide the 'why' part yet. I'll try something more and hope I
can provide you guys with the exact description.

I only found out about it because you were pointing me in that
direction. I debugged for hours now and didn't came to the root-cause of
the issue. I think to really understand it I would need to know much
more about the Chipidea IP.

I'll get back to you guys with a proposal for a new description.
