Don't have any examples now but the device seems to be designed to only have 32-bit
wide registers and bits 0 and 1 of address bus are not connected (or most likely don't even exist to save pins). CPU sees it as 32-bit device, I don't think this case needs bus sizing needed (no need to split the access)
This is feels somewhat similar to Amiga and 53C710 (and later) SCSI chips that only
have 32-bit registers but some drivers still use byte reads to check some status bits. Nothing special is needed, except endian-swapping. (which in case of reading bytes means address 3 becoming address 0, 2 becomes 1 and so on)
More details needed. (chip type, register that is read using both byte and long -wide
instructions, exact instructions used)
