We actually do not really care since if not enabled, this bit will be
masked by the hardware when writing it to the CSR. I could indeed add a
check for that but in the end, it will yield the same result. In that
case, just ORing it with the value seems more efficient than adding an
"if" to check if the extension and DTE is enabled.
