thanks, I'll fix that.

I'll do that. Also I will rename the register to MT9P031_RESTART and the 
bits to MT9P031_FRAME_RESTART and MT9P031_FRAME_PAUSE_RESTART.

I think you're right we don't necessarily need to read the registers. The 
only other bit is not used by the driver.

But I think we do need two separate writes, at least that is what the 
datasheet states.

So I would drop the read but keep both write, ok?

I'll drop the read here as well. But I need to make sure, that the Restart 
Bit is not cleared manually here.
