No, that's definitely something we overlooked while transitioning from
one implementation to another. Thanks for noticing it!

We didn't have this before, but that's certainly an improvement. It is
not so much that secure could have messed with the LRs themselves, but
that the LRs reset value is UNDEF out of reset.

Nit: do you need to have two functions here? Or is that something that
you're going to reuse in the near future?

Looks good to me!
