It is there also in the comment and my point is to notify that if the
gamma support is ever changed to use some other mode, the workaround
needs to change too.

It is pretty hard to draw the line to how deep in details one should go
in comments or commit descriptions. I added the register name so that
someone is interested he can find the full description of the LOADMODE
from TRM using that as a key word.

I think I wont mention the LOADMODE in the description but leave it on
the code comments.

I think that detail should be in the code comments, if it is needed at all.
