I suspect "is now" but yeah.

No, it means that the software has permission to use those changes to
those registers - we only want to be changing things if the user has
permission to change them since some systems will have specific
constraints, we don't know if it's safe without being explicitly told.
You're right that we could infer this from a range being provided
though, let's do that.
