We really shouldn't be writing the registers or other internal data of
the device. Instead we should be getting the driver for the relevant
hardware component to do it. If we just write to registers that makes
the interoperation with the real driver for the device more fragile than
it should be, people might update the main driver without noticing the
external driver.
