I thought about checking exactly what we need as delays and whether we
really need to do all that toggling.  At least in some boards, the
toggles are not needed, but I don't know for sure whether it works in
all different variations of the chip, so I kept them to be safe.  Also,
I tried to deviate as little as possible from a plain revert, since I'd
like to get this into stable as well.
