We don't generally do things like this, we rely on the user to fix up
their configuration, but equally we don't have a good mechanism to flag
problems with firmware download to the user.  It's not something we
really expect to go wrong.

Since the register being updated here is a user visible control if this
does kick in we should also generate an event on the DAC Source control
so userspace knows something happened.
