I understand these files are supposed to stay unchanged, but handling
assignments as expressions as opposed to statements would complicate
our parser in a non-negligible way.

Would it be possible to turn this (and other similar situations) into:

    { PdV = PsV ? (0xff) : (0x00); }

You can easily spot these situations with a shot of:

    git grep -E '\?[^:]*=' target/hexagon/

They are all like this, the left-hand side of the assignment is always
the same in both the true and false branch of the ternary operator.
