Sounds good.

I'd really like to have a better understanding of what this is doing -
it can be valid to do this but there are some warning signs here such as
the volume of writes being large in comparison with the set of controls
the driver exposes which mean I'd like to be sure the use matches
expectations.  Normally this sort of thing is a small number of fixes
for undocumented registers or updates to register defaults changed in
later revisions of the chip.
