Because the hardware only accepts word based accessors and fails
otherwise? I can believe that.

I wonder if the earlier UART hardware this driver used to support (i.e.
pre-DM) would accept byte access to the registers. It's possible, but we
don't really care because those boards aren't supported.

I suppose it's OK to write some extra zeroes here?
