We found this, see https://irclog.whitequark.org/neo900/2017-01-01 (has a lot 
of possibly useful references/links)
The question is if pin AA3 aka GPIO_178 is actually NotConnected in N900 or 
it's just an omission in schematics and there's actually some more 'stealth 
hardware' in N900 that doesn't show up in docs, just like the testpoint UART 
console http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_Hacking#Debug_ports which also are 
missing in schematics.

I could use one of the unpopulated N900 PCB and solder a wire to the OMAP AA3 
pad, then try to make sure it's not connected to anything, or if it is then 
find out about the details of this.
But I'm reluctant to do this, since it's an error prone and (in case of N/C) 
not verifiable procedure, so I'd appreciate any further info, whether from 
historical anecdote or from sourcecode review and conclusions, regarding that.
