It is easy to achieve, something like

if ((value ^ saved) & requeted)
	dev_warn(...);

See also below.

(I had mentioned this earlier)

writel() is a void function, this is wrong. We need to return curr instead to
make above working to issue a warning message.

I don't think it brings any value here, if mask is 0 we will write back the
same value we read.
