nrf52840 Rev 1 Errata DCDC Reg0 not working at all?

Hi,

I just saw the errata for the nRf52840 Rev 1 and it seems Anomaly 197 (DCDC of REG0 not functional) and 202 (Device does not start up in high voltage mode) make it impossible to use the High voltage DCDC mode.

Is there any way to make use of the DCDC? Of course the LDO can be used to circumvent 197 but what about 202? At system startup it is nearly impossible not to draw any current if there is external circuitry connected!

We have chosen the nrf52840 especially for this feature (internal DCDC) to remove as much external (e.g. DCDC) components as possible.

Is there any updated chip revision planned to fix this bug?

In fact right now a guaranteed feature is missing completely!
