Description

The monorail task on Sidecar (rev A) is failing to start up, with

15 monorail              67734488   6 FAULT: panicked at 'Could not initialize chip: BadChipId(4294967295)', task\monorail-server\src\main.rs:54:13 (was: ready)

This error is due to the VSC7448 itself reporting a bad chip ID; in this case, all ones.

We've seen this before (Matrix) when the clock generator was removed.

That's not the case here; we believe the board to be unmodified.

Next steps would probably be asking @ericaasen to probe power and clocks on the VSC7448.
