Hi Sherry,

thank you for the fix!

The fix makes sense to me!
I see only one issue with above comment, which commit 380c966c093e7
already have put quite sub-optimal (after the actual write), but
your commit now shifts it even further making it completely dangling.
Should it be before last UARTCTRL write?
