A valid value, but not necessarily assigned, right?
You are correct, if the APID is not assigned, then the corresponding bit
will be
cleared regardless. In a previous version, the functions failed if the
APID is
not assigned, but a colleague removed that check. I guess it makes sense
given
it really does not hurt anything to ask to unassign an APID that isn't
assigned
to begin with. Would you prefer I update the comment, or do you feel the
user
should be made aware of an attempt to unassign an APID that is not assigned?
I think the code is fine; updating the comment would be good.

Will do.
