I think bitfields are quite special here, no? At least I can't think of another mechanism that looks like it's just a write but also reads.
FWIW if the `[[writeonly]]` part of this change is problematic I'm happy to drop it - I mostly included it for completeness. I don't think the other attributes have a problem like this.
