STA WSYNC requires either four or five cycles to work properly. Both
numbers have their advocates on this list; I believe it's five. You're
correct in that if you just use all 76 cycles, you don't have anything to
worry about, but you must make sure it's 76 cycles *every* time - no
branching, or fetches across a page boundary. At any rate, you're safe if
you use 71 cycles and then do a STA WSYNC.
