Clearly older versions of the controller can also run in this mode...

This makes the configuration unconditional, it's not gated by controller
version checks or any kind of quirk any more meaning that if anything
interprets that bit differently things might break.  If this is really
required to put the controller in master mode it seems that either the
1.02 version is not widespread or this is generally the hardware
default.
