Writing to white balance register on BlackFly requires toggling the write bit #68

This is with a BlackFly BFLY-PGE-05S2C-CS on Ubuntu 14.04. In SetWhiteBalance, iit looks like the write it does to the white balance register (0x080C) only takes effect after the write bit (bit 6 in the PGR docs, but bit 25 in the driver) is written as a 0 and then a 1. The "enable" bit which was mentioned in the change log doesn't have any effect for me on the results.

I also see this in FlyCapture.

I don't understand why the write bit is even there and the scope of my lack of understanding of how it functions may be more profound than this description.

I had problems with white balance that are now fixed with #95. Could you check to see if this solves it for you?
