   The gen3 manual 1.50 contradicts:

Note: This area should be accessed sequentially from the start address and transfer size
to the device is 256-byte unit. All Write Buffer area should be filled with transfer data
in every transfer. When accessing non-sequentially or at random, the operation is not
guaranteed. After Write Buffer Operation, this cache area must be cleared by DRCR.RCF bit.

   What needs to patch what? :-)
