It would be worth commenting that where bit settings are unknown, they
are taken from the default values in the available public data.  I
refer to (for example) the addition of MAT_CONTRL_MAT_SC(1) to the
REG_MAT_CONTRL register in this patch.

The other register ordering changes should also be documented.

However, in my brief test, I haven't noticed any visible detrimental
effects.
