Usecases for ICAP:
- It's considerably faster than PCAP
- Self-repairing logic (e.g. single-event upsets)
- Being programmed from a remote FPGA
- Programming through another bus (e.g. PCIe)

I'm actually not sure, and I did not encounter any problems while testing
this, but it's easier to just move it than to find out, so I'll go for "yes,
let's enable the clock first".
I'll await a bit more feedback and post a v2 for that.
