 You change the logic here in that the second conditional isn't run if the 
first has not.  This is wrong, unclamping is not supposed to rely on LBMS. 
It is supposed to be always run and any failure has to be reported too, as 
a retraining error.  I'll send an update according to what I have outlined 
before then, with some testing done first.

 I think it has to be a separate change, as a fix to what I can see is an 
issue with a three-way-merge done with commit 1abb47390350 ("Merge branch 
'pci/enumeration'"); surely a bool result wasn't supposed to be assigned 
to an int variable carrying an error code.

 Either or both changes may have to be backported independently.
