I looked at it a bit more and there's a macro that calls
write_register so there are actually many more call sites.

It's a bit non trivial to change the macro as all the
called (*write_register) functions would need changing
and these functions use va_list.

Maybe if you _really_ feel like it, but it's a bit of work.
