Thanks for that pointer.

At least if the first patch isn't reverted, the approach used is
less likely to result in the problem occuring, IMHO.

The delay between deliberately switching the LEDs off, instead of
only waiting on chip reset logic to handle that, and the reset
assertion could be considered a "reset setup" period to complement
the original reset hold period.

Increasing the hold period to what should be 5000 - 5100 usec,
definitely made the problem go away my testing, but the previous
approach is (if nothing else) more explicit in its intent.
