Well, it gets the clocking configured early which was part of the goal I
thought to ensure smoother startup.

That's the other bit.  It should be possible for the machine driver to
disable all outputs prior to reprogramming the FLL, though this will
obviously glitch bypass paths.  One way of doing it would be to have
something that does the reprogramming but only if there is actually a
change - that way the common case is unaffected.
