Well currently the file documents 2 of the n ways in which it can work
as if they are the only two ways.
Would you not prefer to insert at least some mention that it could work
in other ways? Put yourself in the position of someone who has a board
with one of these chips, who wants to configure it. If the method is
left undocumented, they have to guess or read the source.
I would not be pleased if the functionality that I have added goes
unused because the documentation for it has been rejected.
Phil.
