Hm, I don't know about this, this file is used with densitron/dpx114
also and it should also have this fixup in auto.c.

Ben, is there really no way to have that register setting in the 8231
code in v2?

If not, then OK, we will have to document properly though. Also, in
that case please just remove the code from the 8231 code rather than
commenting it out. (But leave your new comment.)
