The Software Lock Register controls the software locking of critical registers. This register is software
locked.
Bit 0 - LOCK - this bit acts on all registers that are designated SWL. When this bit is set, the locked
registers become read only and cannot be updated.
‘0’ (default) - all SWL registers can be updated normally.
‘1’ - all SWL registers cannot be updated and a hard-reset is required to unlock them.
