Hum. This looks so fishy it can't be right. The heart of the problem is
that you're not clear what a mask or value should be.

To me:

  - A mask selects bits
  - value is the reference W/A value (containing only the correct bits
    for a single W/A, some of those bits can be 0, mask is telling us
    which bits we're interested about.
  - read(reg) & mask is the W/A value read back from the register
