Mmh, IIUC correctly the documentation, it says the monitoring must be 
disabled when changing the sites. So in the proposed code, we shall 
disable the TMU, update the site and then enable the TMU.

Can you give a try to see if that works? If yes, then can you submit a 
patch on top of this series. Meanwhile, I'll pick those changes.

Thanks
