[Libdlo] libdlo dynamic modeset

Hello Bernie,

many thanks, this is very interesting. Just out of curiosity, I have one 
question about this comment:

* LFSR isn't actually in the mode registers for encryption purposes
* (which is why it doesn't apply to all registers). It's actually
* for convenience on the hardware side, as the registers are used as counters

Can you explain a bit more what the connection between LFSRs and counters 
is in this case? I don't really get it at the moment..

Thanks again,
Yours, Florian
