62The 'enable' file provides a counter that indicates how many times the device
63has been enabled. If the 'enable' file currently returns '4', and a '1' is
64echoed into it, it will then return '5'. Echoing a '0' into it will decrease
65the count. Even when it returns to 0, though, some of the initialisation
66may not be reversed.
