Apparently, this is the HSD131 or - more precisely - the HSM142 silicon
bug, although the specification update concerened with HSM142 [1] only
enlists CPU IDs 0x3c and 0x46 (actually, it only has identification
information for the M- and H-line of processors, but not the Y- and -
which Celeron 2955U belongs into - U-lines). Reporting should be gone
with r281751.
