Hey Guenter,

Thanks for the report. I'm kinda surprised because I had a pl011 probe
successfully in my local testing.

I'm wondering if you are having an interaction with some other changes I made.
Can you try pulling this series in and see if it helps?

That's strange! I'll take a closer look once you confirm that the
series above doesn't help.
