OK good.

Prior to your patch this register was irrelevant - it didn't matter for jtag or
uboot cause what its value was since it was not being checked at all. Now you
enforce this be 0. Simple reasoning tells me it will likely cause problems, if
any, but won't reduce them at all. So I'd insist we keep ignoring it even if uboot
was zeroing it out. Atleast this leaves the door open any future changes.
