Have I mentioned recently how much I _hate_ all of these hardware
lockout mechanisms? They just get in the way of doing stuff.

Anyway the spec has this to say about the PP_ON bit:
"If this bit is not a zero, it activates the register write protect
 and writes to those registers will be ignored unless the write
 protect key value is set in the panel sequencing control register."

So I think we should be safe.
