the stream state is a scalar value, not a mask. The state machine only 
allows transition from CONFIGURED TO PREPARED or from DEPREPARED TO 
PREPARED, or DISABLED to PREPARED.
There is no allowed transition from ENABLED TO PREPARED, you have to go 
through the DISABLED state and make sure a bank switch occurred, and 
re-do a bank switch to prepare again.
