commit 2712625200ed69c642b9abc3a403830c4643364c upstream.

This patch prevents a potentially destructive race condition. The
device is fully operational on the bus after entering Normal Mode, so
zeroing the MRAM after entering this mode may lead to loss of
information, e.g. new received messages.

This patch fixes the problem by first initializing the MRAM, then
bringing the device into Normale Mode.
