Again... this patch description feels somewhat rushed. A patch
description is there to support code reviewer and to go on the version
history to assist with future maintainance. They matter!

Anyhow I don't recognise the "from 1 to 0" in the code since both before
an after the change it goes "from 0 to 1" and "from 1 to 0" but in a
different order. Doesn't the code actually currently implement "set then
clear"? If so then, likewise the new code is adopting "clear then set".

As with patch 1, the sync bits modified by wled3_sync_toggle singular
or plural?

Finally a description that is more sympathetic to the reviewer would be
welcome.  For example the following (if my guess is right and it is
true) makes things much easier for the reviewer:

  "The sync takes place during a 0 to 1 transition of the sync
  bits so the hardware team recommends a clear-then-set approach in
  order to guarantee such a transition regardless of the previous
  register state".
 

Daniel.
