Summary:                    fwringdetect option is ineffective
Description: 
The fwringdetect option does not set registers correctly. This code, from
line 2256 onwards, does not make sense:

	if(fwringdetect || neonmwi_monitor) {
		/* Enable ring detector full-wave rectifier mode */
		wctdm_setreg(wc, card, 18, 2);
		wctdm_setreg(wc, card, 24, 0);
	} else { 
		/* Set to the device defaults */
		wctdm_setreg(wc, card, 18, 0);
		wctdm_setreg(wc, card, 24, 0x19);
	}

	/* Enable ring detector full-wave rectifier mode */
	wctdm_setreg(wc, card, 18, 2);
	wctdm_setreg(wc, card, 24, 0);

The last two statements nullify the 'if' statement above, since they
repeat the settings in the 'true' branch.

The effect for me (in the UK) was that the card would not detect a ring
condition. Removal of those two lines allowed ring to be detected.

wctdm24xxp: Leave FXO (DAA) always in full-wave ring detect mode.

In zaptel commit 4096 [1], all the debouncing of ring signals were moved
into software as opposed to using the ring validation circuit in DAA.
That commit failed to remove the initial check and set of the ring
validation circuit.
