The hardware has 2 banks of registers sharing a section in I2C register space.
The 1st bank is the primary one and is cached.  
The 2nd bank is for loading coefficients only and they do not need cache.
These coefficients registers are therefore direct writes.
Changing this to a cached write will overwrite the cache.
