Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment, but I'd say go for it, unless
someone from Qualcomm says "no way".

In the very least in the "unmask" case it seems pretty safe.  IMHO if
re-enabling the "raw" status caused a glitch we'd already be hitting
problems.  Specifically the glitch would end up getting latched
(whee!) and then we'd unmask and see the glitch anyway.

...and actually for the "mask" case it seems like you've written it
the less-safe way anyway.  We know that masking can't cause some sort
of glitch (since that's the old code), but I guess we don't know
whether disabling the "raw" status could cause a glitch.  To be the
absolutely safest you'd do the new disable of the "raw" status _after_
the old masking.  ...but as per above I'd just go whole hog and
combine them.  :-P

As with everything I write, feel free to tell me I'm being stupid and
I'll try to shut up.  ;-)
