Hello Marc,

You are correct of course.

However, since the bootloader might have enabled delay on
TX, I still think that this patch does the right thing by
starting out with disabling delays for both RX and TX.

But we should probably make the comment more elaborate:

The value after HW reset is RX delay enabled and TX delay disabled.
The value after SW reset is RX delay enabled, while TX delay retains
the value before reset.
In order to not depend on reset values, start off by disabling both
delays.


Kind regards,
Niklas
