Subject: cs5535-mfgpt: reuse timers that have never been set up
From: Jens Rottmann <JRottmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The MFGPT hardware may be set up only once, therefore
cs5535_mfgpt_free_timer() didn't re-set the timer's "avail" bit.  However
if a timer is freed before it has actually been in use then it may be made
available again.
