Changelog update needed here :)

I'm not sure that removing the defaults is the ideal thing here - it
means that the driver will be stuck with whatever the last booted OS
left the device running which may or may not be sane.  Explicitly
writing in all the values we want seems safer, that way we know how the
device is configured and there's less potential for odd bugs caused by
rebooting at the wrong moment.
