Well. The machine needs to be hot in the first place to trigger it.
If it's cold it boots and runs fine even with that patch.
Even if I run it hot after boot it does not shutdown. It only shuts down
on boot when this register is written and when it's hot at this point.

That's why I thought about some silicon bug. Why only when it's hot? :)

The _EN bits are already all cleared, as you can see in my printk dump.
So clearing them has no effect, of course.
So the ports are Inputs as default on boot.
