hm... that makes sense...

I was only with the WA description in my head that states to set only once at 
boot:

" To avoid a potential hang condition with TLB invalidation
driver should enable masked bit 5 of MMIO 0xE5F0 at boot."

But apparently just a bad description in spec, right?!

If this is the case probably dev_priv->workarouds will need another component
"permission" to handle write-only registers and avoid reading that on debugfs?
Or any thing smarter?
