	Hello,

	the patch modifies sanei_genesys_bulk_write_register() to behave differently 
based on dev->model->asic_type. When a common function has two ways of 
working depending on the asic model, and the differences are big enough, we 
better make two specific functions (each in genesys_glxxx.c) and add them to 
the Genesys_Command_Set struct. Calls to the modified function will then be 
replaced by calls trough the function pointer.

Regards,
	Stef
