The real reason is that from the register we get:

byte 3 byte 2 byte 1
+--------+--------+ +-----------------+ +-----------------+
| | | | | | |
| X[3:0] | Y[3:0] | | Y[11:4] | | X[11:4] |
| | | | | | |
+--------+--------+ +-----------------+ +-----------------+

and the 12 bit values have to fit in a 16bit variable.

The upper 8 bits (in event[2] and event[1] need to be shifted
left by '4' and not by '3' in order to leave space to the lower
4 bits (in event[3]).

the devil knows how that '3' has ended up there :)

Thanks for catching it!
