You are indeed absolutely correct. I got confused because I wasn't
seeing the message, but it was caused by the other problem (writing
AUX_CTRL overwriting the changes made to PREFETCH_CTRL). But that
obviously had nothing to do with this part of the code.

Sorry for the noise, and thanks for the quick feedback,
