Ah geez, yeah this something else I was hoping to avoid with the V1 patch - an endless stream of "oh shit, this card's even /moore/ broken!  Patch it, patch it good"

Pierre, thoughts?  All my cards were borderline spec but Hein's got a mainstream, common card which seems to completely ignore the spec.  Can we just take the few-hundred-uS hit and allow initialization down at the bottom end, say 100kHz?

<overkill> Or a KConfig option? </overkill>
