They can reflect the same underlying issue, GPIO control of Glamo pins
that talk to the ASIC in the LCM is broken somehow / sometimes.

| That "level shifter" is definitely evil, if you pop the can and touch it

Yes as I say it is "definitely evil".  But I think we can work around it
since we never see it reset in normal operation -->

| In stable-tracking we work around this by always hard resetting the
| Glamo on resume ourselves on the basis there can have been an
| uncontrolled reset in the meanwhile.
