It is a difficult job deciding what the driver should configure. I
would actually prefer to keeps with the reset default, which would be
0x101e according to the datasheet.

If you are using device tree, you have the option of poking values
into registers, using marvell,reg-init. There are a few examples you
can copy. Doing that guarantees you have the configuration you want.
