When validating writes to controls we check that whatever value we wrote actually appears in the control. For volatile controls we cannot assume that this will be the case, the value may be changed at any time including between our write and read. Handle this by moving the check for volatile controls that we currently do for events to a separate block and just verifying that whatever value we read is valid for the control.
