As my rusty memory serves - there were 8371s in the earlier both A500s and A2000s. The 8375 was used in A500+ / A600 (the latter AFAIR) but not in the A2000.

True - I /think/ there might have been pinout changes for 8375 but can't be sure now. Would need to check the old docs. I vaguely recall that unlike 8371 => 8372, 8375s were not a drop-in replacements for the earlier ones.
