Actually, that is sloppy coding on my part.  It should have a write
prior to the read to match what was there before.

I find it odd that it worked when I tested this patch.  It makes me
wonder if this "modify, reset, modify" series is really necessary
after all.  The docs indicate that writing a 0 to the reset brings it
out of reset.  I do not see any code that puts the HW in reset.  So,
unless the bootloader puts the HW in reset or it is in the reset state
by default, this seems like unnecessary code.  I can add some CYA
logic to read and see if it is in reset, toggle the bit, and then just
do the CLK enable.  Thoughts?

Thanks,
Jon
