"For byte counts that are greater than four bytes, this register will be
written with subsequent data only after the HW_RDY status bit is set"

Hmm, I had interpretted that as should only be. But if you take into
account that the register is indeed double-buffered, it does make sense
that the hardware itself is only updated after the HW_RDY signal.
