Yes, it has been sorted out. I mean they operated properly after
all the tests, even after S2R/wakeup test.

While at it, even with OEN patches applied, I could not reproduce
the issue known to V2H. That's why I've asked if you'd prefer
DEF_MOD_EXTERNAL instead of DEF_MOD (which does not work on V2H)
for consistency with RZ/V2H, I can do that as well.
