Do we know that? There is a lot of speculation but the embargo is not lifted yet afaik. There are obviously elements of this that are remaining intentionally obscured pending embargo expiry (redacted comments), so it could be that a smaller contingent of chips are affected and no one is bothering to correct the damage/limit the patch only to applicable components so that the cat doesn't get out of the bag too soon (side benefit: so that an extensive emergency fix like this can be widely tested before it's applied to a relatively limited set of hardware).
Seems just as valid as any other speculation to me.
