commit f04b3787bbce4567e28069a9ec97dcd804626ac7 introduced a regression for the ofdmtable writing. It incorrectly removed the writing of the high 16bits for a 32bit table write and initialized the direction identifier too late. This patch does also some cleanups to make the code much more readable and adds a few comments, so non rocket scientists are also able to understand what this address caching is all about.
