I don't know that this is a fix per se so I don't think stable is appropriate.

This is probably ok, but TBH, I don't really remember how the pptables
were set up on these old chips and whether changing the current
behavior would actually fix or break anything.  I'd be more inclined
to just leave the logic as is lest something break.
