Hey Guenter,

Thanks for the review.

Oops, typo. Thanks.

In general I agree. However, the datasheet explicitly spells out these
four steps in this order. Writing zero is a shortcut; I could write
ctrl with the enable bit set to zero.

We've been using the driver in this fashion for the past year.

I did use them in writing the driver. They can go.

I will add one.

The comment is informative though for people who read the ast2400
datasheet and wonder why we don't provide the option clocking with
pclk, I will leave it in.

Ok.

I think this is left over from experiments when tracking down a reset
bug in u-boot. I will confirm and change it back to FULL_CHIP.

I will implement this.

Not really. I find it cleaner to keep a copy of the register instead
of read-modify-write, but if you feel strongly about it I can change.
