MPSSE and FIFO modes are mutually exclusive, but I'm not sure about
MPSSE and CBUS-GPIO. CBUS-GPIO didn't work as expected when I was
testing with MPSSE SPI master driver, but maybe it is a driver issue.
FT245 FIFO and CBUS GPIO can be switched by a control request, when
FIFO mode is configured in the EEPROM.

Yes, I agree. I'm thinking of a rework to add a FIFO driver instead
and use it in the fpp-mgr driver. Is that the right direction?

Thanks,
Anatolij
