SCRATCH_LOAD_USHORT writes all 32 bits, but if you mean a case like this:
```
scratch_load_dword v0, ...
scratch_load_short_d16 v0, ... // merge into low 16 bits of v0
```
... then yes I think we will insert a wait on GFX12 to avoid the WAW, and this is done only by looking at the defs, it does not depend on any tied uses. And pre-GFX12 I don't think any wait is required for this case.
