I'm glad you guys are the only one's with access to the firmware
source, thus enduring that you can constantly come up with reasons
like this in order to not have to fix the problem.

You know that if the source were available, the community would have
fixed the bug ages ago.

But the situation is entirely in Intel's control which is surely
exactly the way they like it.
