Hi!

I was under the impression that until v8, the series worked on sc8180x
but I'm seeing that even v7 has the same issue with SHM Bridge on
sc8180x-primus. Could you confirm? Because I'm not sure if I should
track the differences or the whole thing was broken for this platform
from the beginning.
