Ack, that makes sense. However, if I connect a DSC panel, then
disconnect it (now the register should be non-zero, but cfg->dsc will be
zero), and then replug a non-DSC panel multiple times, it'll get flushed
every time because we never clear CTL_DSC_FLUSH after that?

Kuogee forgot to CC me on this patchs so I did not read/receive that
