There's a comment only visible via showdead from somebody who claims to be working in China and that the 8153 is actually fine except most of their employers' competitors mess up powering it properly, and it's a cheap enough chip to not be particularly happy when that happens.
I have no means of verifying this, but it seems at least a plausible hypothesis.
