I'm pretty sure that was me, or perhaps I was the first person to get
it to work with a device upstream - it was so long ago.

Pretty sure the register was a status register that had bits set for
pending writes, and when the transfer was complete all the bits would
be zero (at which point it should stop polling the register and bail
out).

I would have to test it to be sure, but I'm 80% confident that in
normal operation that loop only does a few iterations.
