Software faults out at the 'init' step. Can anyone advise?

See the very helpful guide here: https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x/issues/483 and - if you can - make a pull-request for your newly discovered revision ID.

We get no advance warning of new Pi models, so no idea what to add until someone finds them out in the field.

Hopefully this bugbear is soon going away in favour of https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x/pull/183
