Thanks! My head hurts a bit from going through the overlap init paths
but this does indeed revert to the previous behaviour.

I'm not entirely sure if either are fully correct, but given we
initialize the sgp->power to some 'reasonable' default we can rely on
runtime updates to correct any funnies.
