I cannot tell for sure either, since I have datasheets for the i.MX8MP only. 
Maybe Kurt has some insights here, as he has additional hardware available for 
testing?

Nevertheless, I am going to add a guard to only use the correction codepath on 
i.MX8MP in v3 for the time being, we can add other hardware later trivially if 
they support doing this.

Best regards
Johannes
