This is a *really* non-obvious fix, I'd have expected the original value
to be re-read from the hardware here rather than just tweaked, or at
least some comment explaining what's going on. Possibly also saving to
a differently named temporary variable would do it but whatever I had to
go look at the context to figure out what was happening and even there I
was unclear.
