In the previous thread, you have described what was the issue you found.
It would be nice to have this information here

Based on Uffe comment I tried something else.

Basically, it enables chained mode in the driver only when the framework
calls pre/post_req callback. As far as understood, the framework calls
this when there is more than one request pending ... which seems to be
when chained mode actually make sense

No performance hit AFAICT.
