Thanks for making sure this isn't forgotten.
I thought about this a bit more and I've decided what I gave earlier
isn't really too much of a hack. The other option is to handle the
clearing of the flag at the driver core level, but we incur these
additional instructions for all devices instead of just the overlay
case. But the benefit is that if more busses add overlay support in
the future, they won't need to remember to clear the flag in those
instances too. But they'll probably start off by looking at the
existing platform bus case, so they'll get it right.
I'll continue the pondering next week and maybe test it on my device
to make sure it's not doing anything weird for non-overlay cases.
