This works because qce_bam_lock() isn't used in a place where the state
of this register matters which isn't obvious.. but I'm not sure there's
a much better one to use in its place

Wonder if we could use the VERSION one (base+0x0) - although it's supposed
to be read-only, but at the same time I don't think that matters much for
the BAM engine
