For v2 I just copy-paste another commit message to be sure to be conform.

I think I read better documentation for this point. Sorry, it was very unclear.

I think I read better documentation for this point. Sorry, it was very unclear.
VSELECT is in fact an input pin of the chip. The configuration just enabled it.

It's not. It's configurable by software.

Not. Only the sw1 configuration will be taken in account.

Thanks again,
