Same as for the SerDes muxing patch series, I'm sending a new version
without the suggested change. I've requested some information on this
bit but can't guarantee I'll get anything (and if anything, worthy).
I'll try not to forget to add a constant if and when I get a clue on
what this bit does.
Thanks,
Quentin
