Yeah I mean I suspect this is sensible, unless there is some
reason the controller side also needs to have RX enabled. Perhaps
for feedback or something from the passive side, but I imagine
this is just a typo in the original patch.

Yeah this one is a mistake on my part, I was reviewing some
patches on another amp just before I think I have looked at the
wrong datasheet here. You are correct those bits are infact
BST_CTL_SEL. So ignore this one.

Yes, so the disable flow makes perfect sense here it is the
enable flow that seemed odd.

Hmm... yes that does appear to suggest bouncing the global
enable. Kinda weird, I can't help but wonder if the turning
global enable off is actually needed, but I guess it does say
that so probably safest. It is also rather unclear on who that
sequence should be performed on it says:

"When powering up a second (and each subsequent) CS35L41B onto a
shared MDSYNC bus, the following protocol must
be followed"

But very unclear if that sequence should be followed on only the
new device, the master device, or on all devices. I will try to
find some time to chase some apps guys next week see if anyone
has any ideas.

Thanks,
