Nit: "Read back to make sure the write doesn't linger in a store
buffer", sounds somewhat dodgy.
What about: "Read back to make sure the write has reached the device."?

And I wonder if we actually need to check the returned value to make
sure the device has actually changed the state? Or is this too paranoid?

Cheers,
Andre.
