This Verify workaround patch still a work in progress.  I'm still 
getting more info from the silicon designers on the back-to-back 
register writes that are affect.  The spew of 0x20 or 0x28 or 0x2c 
register writes are all ok locations that don't need to be worked 
around.  This patch needs to be corrected with the proper register rules 
still.
