The fix is correct.    And it was a good catch.  My apologies
for the delay in communicating.

That line is one half of a read/modify write cycle and all it does
is to clear the old value out of the register.  The per
DIMM value is 4 bits long, which is the reason for multiplying by 4.


The index values will be 0,1,2,3....
