I forgot about the write case. It seems to route through write_register_bytes,
which is unfortunate because the register order problem is tougher to solve
there. It might make more sense to avoid using write_register_bytes up in
value_assign, having it iterate over the registers.
Mark, could you pass along your patch? I might be able to use it.
Thanks!
