  On Renesas hardware, we had issues because the above flag was set during
'open'. It was concluded that it needs to be set during 'probe'. It
looks like SMS911x needs the same fix but I can't test it because I
don't have the hardware. At least, leave a note about the issue.

I should have it somewhere. Cool, thanks for the pointer!
