Correction to myself, re-reading the LPC specification, then
if I'm right and this is a LPC device then all IO in/out accesses
are always 1 byte accesses. Since the LPC bus only supports 16 / 32
bit accesses for DMA cycles.

So presumably the outl() would get split into 4 separate 8 bit
(port) IO accesses.
