The legacy device refers (from what I understand) to capabilities of the
pci bus/controller (pci 2.1 or 2.2) , not to prism device.

Windows driver zeroes these bytes for a good reason too :-) It gives
stability to the card. Whereas original intersil code was really
unstable for a lot of people because of those 2 bytes not zeroed.
Here's what we could do :
* by default zero the 2 register.
* if we are unable to start the card (reset timeout, unable to upload
firmware, or whatever), restore these 2 registers to their default
value, and retry.
...And justice for all
