Alexander.
I think that few pulses of LMS hardware reset (LMS_NRST-1 and LMS_NRST-2
pins) will be much easily than all registers checking.
BTW, are there reset pulses after power up or not?
Best regards,
Andrey Sviyazov.

Guys, please keep track of all LMS configuration values which are not
set to default during power on and we'll add them to our manual
initialization script.
