Yeah, but it would be bad to ignore the problem as well. The way it is now
kills any possibility of using DW controller for reading sensors like
gyroscope, accelerometer, barometer that have higher sampling rate etc. I'll
try to come up with a new patch but since I can't reproduce the problem here
it'd be good to know if there's any means for me to test. What do you think
that could be done? Maybe putting the controller to sleep only in case of
errors?
thanks
