IMHO, if you need to read a hardware register just to set the hardware to a certain state and you don’t require the returned value (this is what I assume is done here), the (void) approach is perfectly reasonable _and_ readable.

Since it expresses exactly that in code. We need to read LAN_DATA, but we don’t need the value. Consequently, the returned value is (void).
