Ok. After next patch it became more obvious how this is being used.

I'd combine the patches probably to avoid confusion or the odd state
that any interrupt resets the fifo after this patch.

This makes more sense as well if we are in a reset condition.
I just got thrown off by the lack of a 'good' path in this patch.
