Did the internal review really happened? How is it that immediately new
version has internal review without any traces?

I have doubts this review happened in the context of reviewer's
statement of oversight.

Drop all reviews and perform reviews on the list.

Such internal review appearing afterwards is rather a proof it you are
adding just the tags to satisfy your process. I have no way to even
verify whether that person performed any reasonable review or maybe just
acked your patch. I cannot even verify that that person understands the
reviewer's statement of oversight.

Then this is not that helping. Maybe hardware supports only one frequency?
