OK, I see, commit 62de1c630f16c21418464727692bcd29e23ef1b0.

I just wonder, in my patch you'll notice I also updated the comment
just before the line in cpu/fr30.cpu, after your commit I don't think
that the comment makes sense any more.  I replaced the comment with
one which I felt explained what was going one.  I'll be honest, I'm
not sure that I would immediately understand your use of -16.

Do you think it would be worth updating the comment to better explain
what's going on....  feel free to take anything from my patch if that
helps.

Thanks,
Andrew
