It would be pretty stupid to read a cell and pass NULL as the first
argument. I imagine things would blow up there like we want and we would
see a nice big stacktrace.

I'm just saying that the printk may have the "correct" status but the
check would have failed earlier making the printk confusing. Perhaps
just save the register value from the first read and print it instead of
reading it again? Polling would probably be a better design anyway?
Hopefully the status bit isn't toggling back and forth during those
100-100us though, which may be the case here and that would explain why
it's not a polling design.
