IIRC this was deliberately coded in this fashion on advice from the
hardware engineers - there was more going on with that register than
there might at first appear and some actual sync with the LDO.  I
believe there was some different process to follow (possibly just
setting this mode all the time) when using an external regulator, though
it's also possible the hardware guys were just unsure at the time.
