No, the reason for re-initializing is not that we don't believe the
chip will reset.  I do it because:

1) The reset state is rarely what "I" want, and since we're
initializing anyhow, I run the whole re-init.

2) The init code and its /* comments */ document how you WANT it set
up!  This is the most common benefit for me.

3) I don't have to remember how Microchip left it after reset, and
when I port the same code to a different chip, with different reset
state, my code still works.  Re-use Rules!

Regards,

Barry.
