From: Alexei Lazar When updating the PBMC register, we read its current value, modify desired fields, then write it back. The port_buffer_size field within PBMC is Read-Only (RO). If this RO field contains a non-zero value when read, attempting to write it back will cause the entire PBMC register update to fail. This commit ensures port_buffer_size is explicitly cleared to zero after reading the PBMC register but before writing back the modified value. This allows updates to other fields in the PBMC register to succeed.
