Well, this was actually intentional.

Drivers are not *supposed* to be doing this, the hardware flags are
supposed to be constant hardware description flags. The three drivers
clearing this specific but currently work OK due to the way this
particular flag is treated, but that wouldn't necessarily the case for
all of the flags; adding a _clear() function would seem to imply that
it's OK to do this, when it's really not.
