Thanks.

Yes, in a sense; it does disable some functionality that in theory lets you reach a bit higher throughput, but we enabled this functionality by accident rather than intentionally on older devices and (clearly!) never tested it carefully there, so chances are we won't actually have the bandwidth to go back to the older devices and carefully analyze and understand why it breaks there.

(FWIW, we're talking about a device that was released 4 years ago and obviously was in development significantly before that)
