[gsf600y]

Describe the issue you are experiencing

I have an Aeotec Zi-Stick, flashed with OpenThread firmware:
2025/03/13 19:36:43 Elelabs_EzspFwUtility: Elelabs Thread adapter detected: 2025/03/13 19:36:43 Elelabs_EzspFwUtility: Adapter: ELU0142 2025/03/13 19:36:43 Elelabs_EzspFwUtility: Firmware: **ELElabs-OPENTHREAD/1.2.3.0_GitHub-a935fc51f; EFR32; Jan 20 2022 04:21:20** 2025/03/13 19:36:43 Elelabs_EzspFwUtility: SPINEL v4.3

When starting OTBR in Home Assistant, running on a Raspberry Pi with HAOS I get the following errors:
