It's because I don't have this hardware.
I just found the bug while reading the code.

I was thinking I should CC stable, but since the code is there for a long time
and I don't know any complains of the bug. So I didn't CC stable.

Michael, do you see any user-visible effects of the bug?

Thanks,
Axel
