Ah nice ! I missed that bit. I'll add a fixup and see if it works.

The problem is that writing to this register seems to be part of a
specific initialization sequence, which is done one way in the linux
driver and differently in the vendor kernel. I don't know whether
I can just 'override' the value and I have no docs for that part.

But I'll definitely give it a go tonight.

Cheers,
Ben.
