I had a look now. Because the bootloader of my N1D board already set up
MODCTRL correctly, this write to the wrong register went unnoticed. I
verified that the now correctly written value (depending on DT config)
matches the value previously set by the bootloader. As a result,
everything keeps working. We were lucky. Or unlucky. Depending how you
look at it.
