This turned to be an uninitialized state field. Trivial to fix.

This was because I'm using the new JMicron chip which doesn't like
the parallel mode. Reverting your commented-out code for checking
CAP_PAR4 bit makes it working. I attach the patch below.

Maybe it's safer to "parallel-mode-as-default" only for the old
JMicron chip using some quirk bits, etc.


thanks,

Takashi
