As I said before, the reason for this proposal is that the code NEVER
clears PCA963X_MODE2_DMBLNK, only sets it.
Unfortunately I do not have the HW to test this change.
The code never clears it, but the hardware does. So we have to set it
everytime we enable blink.
Ok, that was the part I was missing. I was not aware that the hw was
clearing it.
The devil is in the details :)
Saving mode2 sounds like a good compromise then.

But I still believe that we should limit the lock to ledout. No matter
what we do, we cannot have two leds blinking at different frequencies
on the same chip.
So to save a mutex a little bit, we take the risk that nobody else enables the blink or if they do, enable it in the same way?
If it saves so much, then I guess its worth the risk I suppose?
