Revision 9750 "wct4xxp: Reduce the memory footprint of the hardware
echocanceler" reduced the number of bits used to store some structure
members. Some of the new field lengths were unable to store all the
possible values the API as used assigned to the fields, resulting in
channels never entering power down mode when they were disabled like
they were previously.
The change for byEchoOperationMode was found in testing the operation of
the VPMOCT032 which currently uses the same code. The others were done
via a review of the API doc.
This change represents negligable risk and contains no logic changes.
It only increases the memory footprint of the API instance in the
kernel.

This saves ~300K of kernel memory for each quad or dual span VPM. Due
to the fact that this change disables caching of the NLP words (among
other things), the time to disable the echocans appears to have
increased by ~1ms.

This needs some more testing before it's on by default. If the card is
otherwise functioning, these messages may be confusing to the user. If
the card is not functioning, the driver can be reloaded with debug to
check for this condition.
