Errata 138 - Spurious emission on GPIO exceeds limits in radiated tests

Hi, I'm not sure if I understand the new reference layout correctly. There are new NP0 12pF capacitors on pin 25 and pin 26 to suppress the spurious emission, but are they always needed or only if these pins are connected to a trace? According to the errata-text they would only be needed if you also use these pins.

By the way we have one product based on nrf52832 with no connection on pin25/26 where we already did ETSI testing and had no problem. Would be great if you could provide the critical frequencies so that one could verify the margin to the allowed limit.
