Just a question - do you ensure there is no "invalid" register values? I 
think Jonathan has prefered doing this by writing known initialization 
values at probe.

I *think* the GTS should survive cases where multiple bit patterns can 
be used to represent same gain/time - but I don't remember this for sure.

I didn't have the time to do a proper thorough review - sorry. Still, 
what I browsed quickly looked good :) Thanks!
