I don't think this optimizes anything. I'm pretty sure the compiler will
load the input to csr_write() in the most efficient way it can, regardless
of using a constant or building the input out of constants. This could
maybe be considered a code cleanup, but, in this case, it's really in the
eye of the beholder.
