Writing zero to the page registers after each message transaction can add up to a lot of overhead for codecs that need to transfer large amount of data - for example a firmware download. There's no spec reason I can see for this zeroing. The page registers are only used for a paged address. The bus code uses a non-paged address for registers in page 0. It always writes the page registers at the start of a paged transaction. If this zeroing was a workaround for anything, let me know and I will re-implement the zeroing as a quirk that can be enabled only when it is necessary. Changes since v1: - Reworded the commit message to patch #1: - say that this is for devices that support paging - mention bit 15 as the paging flag - split a long sentence into two sentences. No code changes.
