The bspec indicates the hardware default value is already the necessary
1,0 value; I'm mostly paranoid about some kind of boot firmware wiping
it to 0,0 by accident.  I don't have any evidence that has ever actually
happened, but explicitly re-programming it to 1,0 in the patch here is a
defensive measure just to be safe.

If we didn't have this patch _and_ some firmware screwed up the GAM
steering target, then presumably we might read back garbage or 0 from
GAM registers in places where we should have received a real value.
