No, I don't know when it was introduced, but since the problem was the
spread-spectrum was not being taken into account, for any platform
that has spread-spectrum support then the question is not when it was
introduced, but when it was fixed. All version prior to the fixed
version would have the problem.
To answer your second question, there is a tunable and you can turn
the spread-spectrum off, but I do not know what it is. Sorry.
