Sure -- I just meant that if for whatever reason the kernel is booting
on a system that's had that syscon bit set to enable the new register
access mode (e.g. by a newer bootloader or something), it seems like
we'd just give up entirely on enabling any i2c busses, when as far as I
know there shouldn't be anything stopping us from resetting the bit back
to be in the state this driver needs it to be in (old register mode) and
then continuing along normally.
