No, that just says the asm uses the value of the pointer.
Not what it points to.

Err, no, it is *exactly* what it points to that is important here and
you're telling the compiler that the instruction will read that much
memory through the pointer.

You need to use an "m" constraint for that.
A 'register' constraint just requires the value of the address
to be valid.

Look at the asm output from the example code I posted.
