Interesting.

I think it's a spec issue that you want to bring to the MIPI Audio WG 
attention.

The note below says 'the DPx_BlockCtrl1 Register remains as Read-Write, 
but the value written to the Read-Only field is not used'

Ignoring a value and returning an error are two different behaviors indeed.

My recommendation would be to add a DisCo property stating the 
WordLength value can be used by the bus code but not written to the 
Slave device registers.
