Yeah, definitely so. In that case, unless we're strongly motivated to
expose these changes soon, I'll just punt the ID register changes
until Reiji's series [1] lands, as anything I add for a writable DFR0
will invariably be scrapped in favor of his work.
I'll post v2 of this series folding in your feedback (thx for quick
review, btw), less this patch.
